Information about Licenses

Licensing for the i-Planet product is provided through six initial product licenses and subsequently through FLEXlm license manager software. For information about licensing for third-party software products used with i-Planet software, contact the appropriate third-party vendor.

Initial product licenses

The i-Planet software comes with six (including root) user licenses.

FLEXlm license manager software

Sun Microsystems protects its applications by implementing license agreements that detail manufacturer and user obligations.

A license with right-to-use (RTU) tokens or a license by site (domain) is required to use i-Planet software. i-Planet software can be licensed by one of two versions: full features or mail-only features.

Licensing with RTUs is enabled by installing a license server, which is a program that runs on the i-Planet server. The license server has the number of RTUs that you installed. When the i-Planet server starts, it gets the RTUs from the license server. The number of unique, authenticated login names must not exceed the number of RTUs. Licensing by site is enabled by linking the i-Planet product to a network domain.

Information on obtaining and installing your license is included in Chapter 3, Requesting and Installing Your License of this manual.
