To enable Carbon Black with a specific sensor version, upload a configuration file. You can preconfigure the Carbon Black Cloud settings in the configuration file. By default, VMs are assigned to the Standard policy in the Carbon Black Cloud. You can define an alternate policy in the configuration file based on your organization requirements.

Important: The configuration file is used for Carbon Black Cloud Workload Appliance only. It does not apply to other installations, and is primarily used for proxy settings.

EncodedCompanyCode = 7X2KTWJQHO@RUO
