Starting the License Server

Sun Directory Services allows one thousand entries to be made in the directory services before requiring a license for more entries. The one thousand entry limit is sufficient to install Sun Directory Services and initialize the entries required by the Solaris for ISPs software. To initialize more entries, you need a license key. Please refer the license certificate for more information on obtaining a license key.

When you have the license key, log into the computer where the license server is installed and start the licensing tool.

1. Enter:

   # /etc/opt/licenses/lit
   

   The License Installation Tool licenses configuration screen appears

2. From the Select Product pull-down menu, select the Sun Directory Services number of entries for which you purchased the license key.
