Sun Internet Mail Server 3.5 Advanced Installation Guide: 5

Installing and Updating Licensing Information

The generic license file that you have received from the license center is called license.dat. If you are installing SIMS 3.5 for the first time, the installation will ask you to enter the directory path to where the file license.dat is located.
If you are installing a SIMS/HA system, you will need an additional license for the secondary HA machine.
If you are upgrading from SIMS Departmental edition to the SIMS Enterprise edition, the installation will automatically update your licensing information while upgrading.
If your SIMS license has expired, you need to update the license by following the steps covered in this section. You will be using the License Installation Tool (LIT) to update your license. This tool will extract information from the file license.dat and place them into three files, as shown below.
To update the licensing information

As root, stop the license manager.

# /etc/init.d/lic_mgr stop

Stop the SIMS mail server.

This assumes the server is already installed and running on your machine.

# /etc/init.d/im.server stop

Update the license file using the License Installation Tool (LIT) or LIT-TTY script.

# /etc/opt/license/lit

Enter your license file name along with the direcotry path where the file is located.

Click Install to install new licenses.

Run the license configuration script.

# /etc/opt/licenses/LIC_CONFIG_SCRIPT

This tool, in turn, updates the following three files:
/opt/SUNWconn/license_dir/slapd1.0.lic,1
/etc/opt/SUNWmail/license_dir/sims.lic,1
/etc/opt/licenses/licenses_combined
You may use the lmstat tool to validate the information contained in these three files, though not required.

Edit the file licenses_combined to remove the old license information.

# /etc/opt/licenses/licenses_combined

Edit the file slapd1.0.lic,1, which contains LDAP information, to remove the old license information.

# /opt/SUNWconn/license_dir/slapd1.0.lic,1

Edit the file sims.lic,1, which contains SIMS information, to remove the old license information.

# /etc/opt/SUNWmail/license_dir/sims.lic,1

Note - before rebooting your system, make sure that you only have one file slapd1.0.lic,1 that contains the SLAPD information that match your license file.

10.

Reboot your system.

SIMS server should be up and running now, which results in automatically starting the license manager.
