Installing Your RTU License

If you received an email message from the License Center, you can install your license from the email message or enter the license by hand; installing from the email message is easier. If you received a fax from the License Center, you must enter your license by hand.

Have the license information from the License Center ready when you install your license.

To install a license received in an email message

1. Save to a file the license information that you received from the License Center.

   The email message that you received from the License Center has the license information either in an email attachment or embedded in the body of the email message.

   • If you received an email attachment, save only the email attachment to a directory and file name of your choice on your system.

   • If you received an email with the license information embedded in the body of the email message, delete the mail headers and the body of the email message, and save only the license information to a directory and file name of your choice on your system.

2. As root, run the script /opt/SUNWste/bin/lit on the i-Planet server.

   The License Installation Tool is displayed.

3. In the License Installation Tool, click Loaded from an Email Message Saved to a File if it is not already marked.

4. Enter the complete path to the file you specified in Step 1 in the File text field or click the browse button (labeled ".." to the right of the File text field) to use a file chooser to find the saved file.

   The License Installation Tool with this information entered is shown in Figure 3-1.

The output of this script tells you whether or not a license is installed and what type it is. If a valid license is installed, run the script /etc/opt/licenses/lic_srvr_start to start the license server.
