## Administrator Screen

The admin screen (under user profile / System) displays a number of useful system parameters as well as several buttons for executing administrator specific actions

Button info as follows:

|Button|Description|
|---|---|
|Refresh Data Lineage|This is only displayed for SAS9 installs.  Will refresh all TABLE level data lineage (impact analysis) using an efficient batch approach (proc metadata).|
|Refresh Data Catalog|Update Data Catalog for ALL libraries.  More info [here](/dcu-datacatalog).|
|Download Configuration|This downloads a zip file containing the current database configuration - useful for migrating to a different data controller database instance.|
|Update Licence Key| Link to the screen for providing a new Data Controller licence key|
|Export DC Library DDL|COMING SOON!!  <br>Exports the data controller control library in DB specific DDL (eg SAS, PGSQL, TSQL) and allows an optional schema name to be included|

## Licence Key Screen

The licence key screen is where you apply or update your Data Controller licence key.  Three improvements have been made to make this easier:

* **Paste both keys at once** - if you have received a combined key, simply paste it into the licence key field and both the licence key and activation key fields are filled in automatically.  You can toggle between the combined-key input and the traditional two-field layout.
* **Preview before applying** - as soon as both fields are populated, the key details (expiry date, number of users, active features) are displayed so you can confirm the key is correct before clicking Apply.
* **Protocol warning** - if you paste a key that was generated for a different connection type than the one you are using (http vs https), a warning is shown and the Apply button is blocked, preventing a key that will not work from being saved.
