This section describes how to upload a new license.
Before you upload a new license, ensure that SkyVault is running and that you can
access the Admin Console. When you first run SkyVault, it defaults to using a 30-day
trial license.
You will receive an email confirming the purchase of your license, and a license
file is attached to the email. The license file has a filename of
<license-name>.lic. You use this license file to upload the
license restrictions into your system.
- Copy the license file to the directory in which SkyVault is installed. For example, on Windows, copy the file to the C:\SkyVault directory; on Linux, copy the file to /opt/alfresco-x.x.x. Alternatively, you can copy the license file to the <extension_root>\license directory. For example, on Windows, copy the file to the C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\license directory; on Linux, copy the file to /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/license directory. If the /license sub-directory does not exist, it will need to be created first.
- Open the Admin Console, and then click License Descriptor.
-
On the License Descriptor page, click
Edit.
You'll see the Edit: License Descriptor page.
-
Click Load License.
This uploads the <license-name>.lic license file that is in the install directory.
When you have uploaded your license, the .lic file is automatically renamed to <license-name>.lic.installed.
You can see the new license restrictions in the License
Descriptor in the Admin Console.
When your license is about to expire, you must purchase a new license and upload it
to your system. When you purchase further licenses, repeat the same steps using the new
license file.
Note: A license key is unique to a specific version of SkyVault. Please
note that when you upgrade to a new version of SkyVault, you will need to install a
new license key.
