License Key Concept

Note:
During the installation process, the a check is performed that the license is of the same version as the installed ApplinX server. The license key format from version 9.6 and earlier is no longer supported. If you are logged on to Software AG's Empower site, you can request a new license key from Software AG Logistic Service Center (LSC).

About ApplinX Licenses

ApplinX can be purchased with one of the following types of licenses (it is possible to purchase more than one type of license):

The ApplinX license is purchased for a number of users for each type of license. For example, you can purchase a license for 100 SOA users, and another license file for 50 web enablement users. When connecting to a session, the number of opened connections is compared with the number of users defined in the license file. The number of possible users must be equal to or greater than the number of opened connections. When trying to connect with an additional user, you will receive the following error message: Cannot connect session. The server has reached the full capacity of concurrent users.

License keys from version 9.6 and earlier are no longer supported. The following user messages appears when the server starts if in the license directory there is an old license: License key format from version 9.6 and earlier is no longer supported. You can request a new license key from Software AG Logistic Service Center (LSC). STOPPING SERVER...

Notes:

  1. When working with a Connection Pool entity, connections will be related to a specific license type only once they are in use within a specific solution (SOA or web enablement).
  2. A session used by a developer within the Designer is not counted as a connection.
  3. Once the expiration date defined in a license file is reached, the connections count defined in the file is dropped from the accumulated connection count (per type).

Support of SOA and Web Features

During the installation process, only one of the licenses is provided. Copy the second to the ApplinX license directory manually. It will be loaded when the server starts.

Updating Your License

If you wish to change the license key after the installation, you need to locate the license file (<Software AG Installation>\common\conf) and replace the old license with the new one. Restart ApplinX server and the Designer.
