Onboarding checklist for multi-tenant central licensing deployments
We recommend that you review the following steps to successfully deploy and onboard Cortex XSIAM with central licensing management. For MSSP multi-tenant environments with customer-owned licenses, see [Onboarding checklist for multi-tenant customer-owned license deployments](onboarding-checklist-for-multi-tenant-customer-owned-license-deployments).
This checklist enables you to set up a multi-tenant deployment. After onboarding, you should configure Cortex XSIAM to suit your needs. For more information, see [Configure Cortex XSIAM](../../configure-cortex-xsiam).
