Run license verification utility

Typically, you will run this utility after you install the license key.

This utility connects to the database and then compares the counts and names of the licensed components with the values contained within the installed license key. For an evaluation license, the report will show the date/time that the license key will expire--that is, when the software will no longer function.

Log in as a user with super-user privileges and use the following utility to check the licensed components that are currently enabled in your environment.

Windows:

C:\opt\aptare\utils\verifyLicense.bat

Linux:

/opt/aptare/utils/verifyLicense.sh

The most important part of this report is the last section titled: VERIFYING LICENSE AGAINST CONFIGURATION. If this section is blank, there are no license violations and you have correctly installed the license and, in addition, the number of licensed components within the product matches the installed license key.

The LICENSE DETAILS portion of this report shows the specific capabilities that are associated with the license that was purchased for your environment.

Sample output:
