To use the Licensing utility, open a terminal window and change to the \bin directory.

Activate Licenses

To activate a license (requires Internet access):

licensing activate <activation_code>

where <activation code> is in the format 0000-0000-0000-0000. Submitting the activation code contacts the licensing portal with machine binding information. The portal returns a license, which will then be installed.

• You can call activate multiple times to add more codes to the existing license, without needing to deactivate.

• By default, a license is activated with a count of 1. You can optionally specify a different count by using a slash /. For example:

  licensing activate <activation_code>/2

• You cannot change the count after the license is added (the same code cannot be activated multiple times). To change the count, you must deactivate the code, then re-add it with the new count.

• You can also enter multiple activation codes of varying counts. For example:

  licensing activate <activation_code1> <activation_code2>/5

  where <activation_code1> will be activated with the default count of 1 and <activation_code2> will be activated with a count of 5.

Check for License Upgrades

To check if a new license is available (requires Internet access):

licensing check upgrades

If any parts of your license are eligible for upgrade, a list of upgradable Activation Codes will be returned. Use the upgrade subcommand to activate them.

Upgrade Licenses

To get the available license upgrades (requires Internet access):

licensing upgrade

Deactivate Licenses

Deactivate licenses before uninstalling the License Server from the machine. To deactivate a license (requires Internet access):

• To deactivate all licenses:

  licensing deactivate

• To deactivate a specific license:

  licensing deactivate <activation_code>

  where <activation_code> is in the format 0000-0000-0000-0000.

Connect a Client to a License Server

To connect a client to a license server, use the --proxy_server option:

licensing activate <activation_code> --proxy_server=<ip_address> --proxy_port=<port_number>

See the Proxy Server section for additional options.
