CUBE-LAB#license smart sync local

1. The process seems to be that the Gateway uploads to DLU to the SSM On Prem.
2. The SSM ON Prem then has to sync to cloud to get it verified.
3. Once the Licenses appears on the cloud - you need another sync for it to appear on SSM ON Prem
4. And then I assume a further sync from the gateway so it knows it has been successful?

You can spend this process up by doing manually syncs.
