Actions

Controls to upgrade the license, renew the license, or associate unused licenses with a website.


See the following sections for help with these actions:

  • Add a new website and associate with a license
  • Associate backup license to a website
    • Upgrade a License
    • Renew a License
     

    Add a new website and associate with a license

    • Open the 'Customer and License Management' tab
    • Click on a customer to open their details screen. The screen shows all licenses distributed to the customer.
    • Locate a valid, unused license.
    • Click the 'Add Website' button in the 'Actions' column

    The 'Add Sites' wizard starts:



    • Customer - The customer email address is pre-populated. 
    • Domain - Enter the URL of the website. E.g. example.com or subdomain.example.com.
    • License - The license which will be distributed to the customer. This is pre-populated with the license you chose in the previous step.
    • DNS Service - Configure the DNS settings for the website. The available options available are: 
    • No DNS - Add a website but don't use Comodo DNS. DNS must be setup later by you or the customer in order to configure cWatch protection.
    • Initiate DNS - cWatch retrieves the DNS records of the website then implements these records in cWatch (dnsByComodo service). Your customer now only needs to point their name servers to cWatch in order to enable the service. This saves your customer the step of adding CNAME and A records to cWatch for each of their sites.
    • Initiate DNS and Auto SSL - Configures DNS as explained above and also provides the customer with a free SSL certificate. The process first checks if the customer’s name servers are pointing to dnsByComodo. After verification, cWatch generates a key pair, requests the certificate, creates a CNAME DNS record on dnsbyComodo, validates the domain, collects the certificate and installs it on cWatch edge servers. 
    The certificate will encrypt traffic between the CDN servers and the website's visitors. It will not secure the connection between the customer's server (where the site is hosted) and the CDN (where the customer's website is cached).
    • Click 'Next'. 
    • A confirmation screen appears:



    • Review your settings and parameters
    • Click 'Back' if you want to edit any details
