21 Managing WebLogic Server Licenses
21-2 Administration Guide
Updating a License
You will need to update the BEA license file if one of the following is true:
n You have purchased additional BEA software.
n You obtain a new distribution that includes new products.
n You have applied for and received an extension of your 30-day evaluation
license.
In either of these cases, you will receive a license update file by email as an attachment.
To update your BEA license file, do the following:
1. Save the license update file under a name other than
license.bea in the BEA
home directory.
2. Make sure that java (Java 2) is in your path. To add the JDK to your path, enter
one of the following commands:
l set PATH=.\jdk130\bin;%PATH% (Windows systems)
l set PATH=./jdk130/bin:$PATH (UNIX systems)
3. In a command shell,
cd to the BEA home directory and enter the following
command:
UpdateLicense license_update_file
where license_update_file is the name under which you saved the license
update file that you received via email. Running this command updates the
license.bea file.
4. Save a copy of your
license.bea file in a safe place outside the WebLogic
distribution. Although no one else can use your license file, you should save this
information in a place protected from either malicious or innocent tampering.
