Appendix C: XUA Macros

XYPRO Technology Corporation 302 Proprietary and Confidential

C11: XUA_INSTALL_LICENSE

This macro is supplied to allow the XUA security administrator to check on a newly

received license file and optionally load it. If you choose to load the new license, XUA

renames the current license file (at the red arrow below) out of the way and moves the

new license in.

Syntax:

XUA_INSTALL_LICENSE <new license name>

The following Example shows the examination of a license file called IP25F001 and

the prompt for installing it.

Example:

$SYSTEM XYGATEUA 6> XUA_INSTALL_LICENSE iP25f001

Xypro license check XYPRO Technology \SIMI 20091231

FILES DUPLICATED: 1

New license installed, old license in $SYSTEM.XYGATEUA. XUA92369

$SYSTEM XYGATEUA 7>

Notice that the old license file is renamed to XUA92369 (at the red arrow above) when

the new license is installed. The old license file (now renamed) is available for fallback

purposes should there be a problem in the new license. Simply rename the two files to

place the old license back in place.

Note: If the XUA license file is expired or bad, then none of the features of

XYGATEUA will be available. It will be just like using Safeguard to logon. In

case of an invalid license, XYGATEUA will send the following message to EMS:

“The XYGATEUA license is bad or expired, XYGATEUA is reverting to only

standard Safeguard controls.”

If the license expires in less than 30-days, then XUA will audit the warning

message that the license is going to expire in less than 30-days.

Once every 24-hours, XYGATEUA checks for the license file update if XUA is

enabled in SEEP. XUA sends a message to EMS if the license file is bad or

expired. If the XYGATEUA license file expires and a new license file is installed,

then the XYGATEUA server running in SEEP will check only after 24-hours from

the time it previously checked; until then, XYGATEUA might keep sending the

warning to the EMS unless the XUA SEEP is bounced.
