How to ...All reUZE Server licenses that you install using the Micro Focus License Management system are stored on the license database. This database is created the first time a reUZE Server license is installed. The database is held in the file mfasdb, which resides in the directory c:\mfaslmf by default.
You cannot change the database content, except by using AppTrack to install or remove licenses. Keys on the database are in encrypted format, and can only be seen by users through AppTrack. Access to AppTrack can be restricted by its optional password system.
You can have only one active license database on a machine. You cannot move it once it is created. However, on Windows, you can create another database and use this instead of the original. If you have any licenses installed in the original database, you will need to reinstall them in the new database.
Windows:
You do not have to know about the database, apart from whether to set one up on your machine or whether to use one on a network server. Your organization might have a policy on this. A networked license database can make maintaining licenses easier, but the disadvantage is that the network server has to be up and running whenever you want to run your application. Also, Enterprise Server cannot access a database across a network, so such a database enables only the base Micro Focus Server.
To find out the location of the existing license database or to set up a new license database, use the aslmpclocate utility.
You need to install a seperate license to use Database Connectors.
You may request a license file for one or more users. The number of users (user limit) is set in your license agreement with Micro Focus. When you receive your products, the package includes product codes and keys for Database Connectors. You must have the product codes and keys to create the license file. When you install or update your license file, place it in the bin directory of Database Connectors; Database Connectors expects the license file to be in the same directory as the executable file and must be able to locate its license file in order to function. If you have multiple users or interfaces, you may copy the license file onto each machine containing Database Connectors or place Database Connectors and your license file on a shared drive.
The Activator utility automates the process of creating a license file. When you install Database Connectors, the Activator utility, activator.exe is installed for you in the installation directory by default. The last screen of the install has a check box for launching Activator. Launch the Activator to enter a new or updated product code and key. Note that Activator is case-insensitive and displays only uppercase characters. Activator also ignores embedded spaces and separating characters. License codes and keys do not contain the letters “O” or “I”. When you have entered your product codes and keys, Activator displays a dialog box that confirms whether license file activation was successful.
Note: If license activation was successful, but you get a message during Database Connectors startup indicating that the license file cannot be found, the license file may not be in the proper directory. Activator determines where to place the license file based on entries in the Windows registry. If no registry entry is found, the license file is placed in the same directory as the Activator executable.
A Sentinel license server is installed automatically on your computer when you install reUZE Server.
To manage your product licenses you need to use the Micro Focus Licensing System Administration tool. The tool allows you to authorize, view and revoke licenses. You can set up your license locally or request a license from, if your site is using one, a central license server.
