The temprary software licenses are stored within a file license.txt and the built-in
license manager will check and verify the valid license key codes once per day and
if the code is invalid or terminated, the license manager will kill the software option
module during runtime. Software options may be enabled temporarily (start time,
end time). Permanent software licenses are stored on the EBox backplane.
For each ordered license, the manufacturer creates a license code which is entered
prior to delivery to the customer, thus enabling the option. Furthermore, a license
document is provided with all required information and is added to the documenta-
tion for the customer.
Please note that the key code is indicated only in this License Document –
keep it save!
When placing a special order for software options only, the license document of the
indicated switcher is created and send to the customer together with the complete
System CD-ROM. For creating the license key, the customer has to inform the
manufacturer about the serial number of the respective subassembly.
The respective serial numbers are contained in the Diagnose menu when select-
ing the mainframe host.
SerialBoard# Controller: xxx
SerialBoard# Backplane: xxx
SerialBoard# OutputProc: xxx
With the generation, the license key is connected with the series number of the de-
vice. Then the license document will be sent to the customer and can be entered
into the Install / System /SW opt menu by using the Modify button .
Note:

After changing the mainframe type (device type), a RESET has to be made at
the mainframe controller.

When updating software, license file license.txt is treated in the same way as
environ.ini. That means, it is first saved on the RAM disk and subsequently
written back on the flash disk.
D
The license file license.txt on the flash disk must not be deleted!.
