Import Product License Keys for Instances or Components
Software AG requires license keys for some products. Each license key contains the license for a product, a product component, or a product feature. Software AG provides license keys when you first license a product, when you need to replace license keys that are about to expire, or when you need to change your license so you can access different product features.
1. Add license keys to Command Central as follows:
a. Open your installation email from Software AG. Attached to the email are individual product license key files, with file names that include product names.
b. Copy the files to a machine that can access the Command Central from which you will install your products.
c. Go to Licensing > Keys, click the plus icon, choose the appropriate option, and provide the requested values.
The installation email might also provide license manifest files, each of which contains all contracts for one location of your organization and is used for license metering. License manifest files have file names that do not include any product name. If you have and want to use license manifest files, add them to Command Central by going to Licensing > Manifests, clicking the plus icon, and providing the requested values. Then open each file. If the LicenseManifest Version at the top is 3.0 or higher, license keys are embedded within the file and you need take no further action, because Command Central automatically extracts the keys from the manifest files and lists the keys on the Keys tab. If the version is lower than 3.0, proceed to the next step.
Important:
In Command Central 10.7, license manifest files and license metering are deprecated without replacement.
2. Assign license keys to product instances or components as follows:
a. Go to Environments > All > Instances and click an instance or component that requires a license key.
b. Click Configuration, click Licenses, click the license key, click Edit, and click the license key to use.
c. Repeat for all instances or components that require license keys.
