Obtaining a License

To request a license, contact your product reseller, account manager, or Edge Support.

The license file is a .properites file containing the following:

  • Product licensing information
  • License expiration date

Initial Installation

When edgeCore has been started for the first time and after initial login by an administrator, a red banner will be presented indicating that the system is unlicensed and the administrator will be prompted to install a valid license:

Clicking Update License will allow the user to choose a valid license file from the file system and load the license into edgeCore.

Viewing Current License Status

Upon opening the Manage License page (system menu > Manage > License), the overall license status is presented. This includes:

  • The IP address of the currently licensed server.
  • The date that this license expires.
  • The maximum number of concurrent user login sessions permitted.
  • The maximum number of account domains permitted. 

In addition, any licensed adapters/extensions are listed. Each row represents a single licensed adapter/extension, along with the vendor that produced the product used by that adapter, and the maximum number of permitted Pipeline Connections nodes that are associated with that adapter/extension.

Viewing Adapter/Extension Status

Open the Adapter page (system menu > Manage > Extensions) to view the consumption of licensed connections for each installed adapter/extension.

If the licensed connection limit is exceeded for any connection type, then some connections will no longer work due to insufficient licenses. The system will automatically allocate licenses with priority to the oldest connections. If this is not suitable, then the administrator can manually disable connections to bring the license usage back to the connection limit.

Updating License

Clicking Update License… on the Manage License page (system menu > Manage > License) will display the following dialog:

Clicking the + button brings up a file chooser, which allows the administrator to select and upload a license into edgeCore:

The license content is displayed. Clicking Install will essentially replace the existing license (if any) and apply the new license configuration.

Running Without a License

You do not need a license to start up Edge. You can install and start up the system without a license. The application will have very limited functionality but will allow you to navigate to the above screens and then install a license. You can alternatively install a license from the command line.

 

EdgeCore 4.3.3 Version

License Expiration & Access to Edge

If a license expires, the administrator is able to log into Edge but will only have the Manage License permission.
