Registering a License

To register a new license with the Tivoli Storage Manager server, first complete the following field and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task. 

Note:  To unregister or reduce the quantity of registered licenses, you must erase the nodelock file found in the server directory of your installation.  This will also require you to reregister any previously registered licenses.  In addition, you can use this command to add to the quantity of previously registered licenses. The nodelock file contains an entry for each license file you register

With the exception of the drm.lic, you can specify the number of license files you would like to register by entering the number just before the license authorization code.  For example, you may enter 10mgsyslan.lic.  You may also add to the existing number of licenses.  For example, you may have 10 registered licenses and you need to register 20, enter 10mgsyslan.lic for 10 additional licenses.

License Authorization Code

Enter the name of the enrollment certificate file containing the license to be registered. The specification can contain a filename wildcard (*). Note: The names of the files are case-sensitive.

Example: To register all files, enter: *.lic
