Activating New License Keys After an Upgrade

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: All environments.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform a Siebel Database Upgrade.

In Siebel Innovation Pack 2016, the license keys for Siebel CRM base applications that were previously provided in seed data in the Siebel database are inactive. License keys entered by customers are unchanged. A new utility is provided for activating or deactivating the license keys that you require. You run the License Key Activation utility after installing a new Siebel database, running Incremental Repository Merge (for migration installations), or completing a full database upgrade.

You can find license key information for Siebel Business Applications at Oracle's license codes site.

For the Siebel license keys, see

The License Key Activation utility is supported on all operating systems and databases for Siebel

Business Applications.

To start the License Key Activation utility

1. On the computer where you installed Siebel Server, navigate to the following location:

   SIEBSRVR_ROOT\bin

2. Run the following program, according to your operating system:
   • Microsoft Windows: licensekeymodule.bat
   • UNIX: licensekeymodule.sh
3. In the License Key screen, enter valid data for the following fields:
   1. In the Siebel Server Location field, enter the installation path for Siebel Server.
   2. In the ODBC DSN field, enter the ODBC data source for the Siebel Database.
   3. In the Table Owner field, enter the table owner for the Siebel database.
   4. In the Username field, enter the user name for logging into the Siebel database.
   5. In the Password field, enter the password for logging into the Siebel database.
   6. In the DB Platform field, enter the RDBMS type: IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, or Oracle Database.
   7. In the Log Folder field, enter the folder in which the log file licenseKeys.log is created. This log file shows database connection information for troubleshooting purposes, and lists all of the license keys that were activated or deactivated in each session.
