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):
License server versions before 2.4.9: # cat /opt/license-server/log/license.log
License server version 2.4.9 and later: # cat /opt/charon-license-server/log/license.log

The log should indicate that the license server is ready to serve licenses.
