SOAP/AM Product Licensing

Top Previous Next

All SOAP/AM products require the installation of a license. The license is stored in an edit file on the NonStop Server that is read by the SOAP/AM product in order to validate the installation. SOAP/AM product licenses come in two forms; the license key and license block. The license block is the newer form and is the preferred because it is self documenting.

A SOAP/AM license key is a 19 character string similar to that shown below:

2EB0-0D94-C63C-FDFF

A SOAP/AM license block is a multi-line text block similar to that shown below:

-----BEGIN LICENSE-----

product=soapam_server

systemnumber=123456

restrictedlicense=no

expiration=12/31/2009

signature=172

-----END LICENSE-----

When the license is received from NuWave Technologies it must be copied to an edit file on the NonStop System exactly as provided. The SOAP/AM product searches for the license file in the following locations and in this order:

•	The file specified by the command line option -licensefile

•	The file LICENSE in the VFS subvol.

•	The file LICENSE in the SOAPAM program subvol.

•	The file LSERVER in the SOAPAM program subvol.

•	The file $SYSTEM.NUWAVE.LSERVER

Note: If you are using SOAP/AM Server version 2.0 SP2 or earlier, the license key is stored in the Virtual File System. During the upgrade process to version 2.0 SP3 or greater, if there is no license file available on the system the VFSMGR program extracts the license key from the VFS and writes it to the file LICENSE in the VFS subvol.
