Important Information to Protect the License Validity
Certain actions can invalidate your license. Therefore, once you have installed your license, please note the following points:
Overview - Requesting and Installing a License
License Installation Using the Command-Line
The following sections will show how to perform a license installation on the VE license server. Alternatively, you can use the web-based GUI (see VE License Server Web-based Management GUI)
Running the esxi_bind Command (VMware environment only)
Collecting the Fingerprint Data on the License Server
Sending the C2V File to Stromasys and Receive License Data File
Installing the License Data on the License Server
Verifying License Installation and License Content
Checking the License Server Log file
Check the license server log file to see if the server started successfully or reported an error. Use the following command (as the privileged user):
# cat /opt/license-server/log/license.log
The log should indicate that the license server is ready to serve licenses.
Using the license_viewer Program to Display the Content of a License
The license server provides a license_viewer program to view the content of the license. To run it, use the following command (as the privileged user):
# /opt/license-server/license_viewer
The following sample shows the output for several different licenses:
Regular VE license on AWS | Regular VE license on physical server |
# /opt/license-server/license_viewer
