After getting IP address, user name and password for our new server, the next step is to update a few things.
- License: You get an initial message the you license is expired (or missing). Under Server - License Management, click the Retrieve Keys link to update the license automatically. You have to this regularly (every 45 days or so), and occasionally it is unavailable and you have to try again later.
- Updater: Also under the Server node, this seems a good thing to do right away so that you are starting with the most recent version. I originally thought that frequent updates were wise until one of them broke many of our apps because of a php configuration issue. Now I am more selective. It also makes sense to not install anything that you do not anticipate using, since some may add overhead and all will take up some space.
- System Time and Date: Set time zone and synchronize with clock.isc.org or another time server.
