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:
