Updating Your license.bea File
BEA Products Installation Guide 6-5
1. Save the license update file that you received through e-mail, with a name other than
license.bea, in the target BEA Home directory. For example, save the file as
new_license.bea. Use this file as the license_update_file in step 4 of this procedure.
WARNING: Do not overwrite or change the name of the existing
license.bea file.
2. Perform the step appropriate for your platform:
– On a Windows system, open an MS-DOS command window and go to the target BEA
Home directory.
– On a UNIX system, go to the target BEA Home directory.
3. If it is not already included, add the JDK to your
PATH variable by entering the following
commands:
– On a Windows system:
set PATH=BEA_HOME\JDK\bin;%PATH%
– On a UNIX system:
PATH=BEA_HOME/JDK/bin:$PATH
export PATH
In this command, JDK represents the directory that contains the JDK being used for this
installation, for example,
jdk150_06 or jrockit90_150_06.
4. Merge the license update file into your existing license by entering one of the following
commands:
– On a Windows system:
UpdateLicense license_update_file
– On a UNIX system:
sh UpdateLicense.sh license_update_file
license_update_file
represents the name to which you saved the license update file in
step 1.
5. Save a copy of your updated
license.bea file in a safe place outside your BEA software and
application installation directories.
Although no one else can use your license file, you should save a copy of it in a place that
is protected from both malicious and innocent tampering.
