license.bea file An XML file that contains the license keys for all the BEA products
installed in the BEA Home directory.
Licenses are release specific. For example, you cannot use a license from a
previous release with WebLogic Server 9.2. To convert a pre-9.2
license.bea file to a WebLogic Server 9.2 license.bea file, see
“Upgrading Licenses from Previous Software Releases” on page 6-6.
To update your
license.bea file for additional functionality, see
“Updating Your license.bea File” on page 6-3.
Note: Do not edit the license.bea file manually. Doing so may cause
operating problems for the currently installed BEA products, or
result in problems later when BEA products are installed for
maintenance upgrades.
registry.xml file A registry file that contains a persistent record of all BEA products installed
on the target system. This registry contains product-related information,
such as version number, service pack number, and location of the
installation directory.
Note: Do not edit this file manually. Doing so may cause operating
problems for the currently installed BEA products, or result in
installation problems when future BEA products or maintenance
upgrades are installed.
For more information about the BEA registry file, see “Using the BEA
Registry API” in ISV Partners’ Guide at the following URL:

UpdateLicense
(.cmd/.sh) A command file (Windows) or a shell script (UNIX) that updates the current
license.bea file with new license sections. The result is a merged
license that contains both the existing and new license sections. For details
about using the
UpdateLicense utility, see “Updating Your license.bea
File” on page 6-3.
