Specifying the location of the license file
When Apama Studio launches an application configured to start a correlator Apama Studio looks for the Apama license file in the default location, which is APAMA_WORK\license\license.txt. This is automatically taken care of when the correlator is started by Apama Studio.
If your Apama license file is not located in the default location you can specify the location before launching your application. If you do not then the correlator will be started in an evaluation mode. This means it can communicate only with processes on the same machine and it will automatically exit after 30 minutes of operation. Check the correlator console output on startup to see if the correlator is running in evaluation mode. If it is put a license into the default location or provide the location of the license file if it is somewhere non-standard.
In Apama Studio, to specify the location of the Apama license file:
*In the Apama Studio menu bar, choose Window > Preferences.
*In the Preferences dialog that appears, click Apama.
*In the License file field, specify or navigate to the path of the Apama license file. The default path is APAMA_WORK\license\license.txt.
*Click Apply and then OK.
