If you purchase and install additional license certificates, they will also be
added to the eDirectory tree as objects in the appropriate License Container
object.
About Envelopes
An envelope is an .NLF file containing one or more license certificates. (The
envelope might have just one certificate because it also contains other
information associated with the product—for example, information for NIS-
enabled installations.)
Envelopes let you install more than one license certificate at a time into
License Container objects. For example, if you have purchased three products
in a suite, you can use an envelope to simultaneously install license certificates
for all three products.
When adding license certificates to the eDirectory tree, you should know
where in the tree you want to install the license certificate. This location or
context will determine who can use the license units associated with that
license certificate. For more information on placing licenses, see Guidelines
for Installing License Certificatesin User Access Licensing for NetWare.
Installing License Certificates
1 In iManage, click License Management > Install License.
2 Navigate to and select a license file, and then click Next.
The file might be on a diskette in drive A: or on a CD-ROM.
A sample path and filename for a license certificate is
A:\LICENSE\43D211.NLS. A sample path and filename for an envelope
is A:\LICENSE\.43D23E.NLF.
The file, usually linked to an activation file (key), automatically retrieves
the password (if one is available).
3 Select the licenses to install, and then click Next.
Each license includes the user licenses and a server license. Each server
must have a server license associated with it.
If the licenses are to be installed in different contexts, you should install
the licenses one at a time.
If you choose to install a server license and one is already assigned to the
server, the server license install will fail.
