About Apama license files
Your Apama sales contact or an authorized Apama reseller supplies you with an Apama license file. There are instructions in the installation guide for copying the license file to the correct location.
It is possible to run Apama for a limited time without a license file or with an expired license file. Apama behavior with regard to the Apama license file is as follows:
When a license file cannot be found, the correlator will automatically shut down after 30 minutes. Note that it will not be possible to run the correlator in persistent mode if a license is not provided.
A running correlator does not shut down when its license expires. It continues operation for seven days beyond expiration. The correlator logs periodic warning messages until it reaches the end of the seven days or until you replace the expired license file.
Removing the license file from a running correlator does not cause it to shut down. It continues operation for seven days after the license file is removed. The correlator logs periodic warning messages until it reaches the end of the seven days or until you restore the license file.
You can start a correlator with an expired license file if it is less than seven days beyond expiration.
Refer to the licencing terms specified in your software contract for any additional legal restrictions that may be imposed on your use of Apama.
If you obtain a license file after you have been running Apama, copy it to the license directory in your APAMA_WORK directory, for example: C:\Users\Public\SoftwareAG\ApamaWork_n.n\license\ApamaServerLicense.xml (where n.n stands for the current version number).
