How to Deploy Platform Device Licenses

Description

This tutorial describes a step-by-step guide demonstrating how to deploy licenses to a BrightServer instance.

Steps

Licenses can be bought and generated from www.brightxpress.com. For more information on this process, please refer to the BrightServer > Licensing BrightServer chapter of this document. Before proceeding, please ensure that the ports used to generate the license match the ports the BrightServer instance is configured to run on.

Once attained,

1. Locate and connect to the server in the ‘Servers’ panel of BrightBuilder.

2. Download the configuration off the server.

   

3. Under the Configuration branch, double click licenses or open it via its context menu.

   

4. Right-click -> Add New License

    

5. Specify or browse for the path of the license file and enter in the serial number provided with the license. A description may be also added if desired.

   

6. After clicking 'Finish', if the file is valid, the license should appear in the list.

   

7. Upload the new configuration.

   

8. Confirm the number of valid licenses, and deployed licenses with the "Licensed Devices" tab.

   

   If the license has been successfully deployed, the following lines will appear in the BrightServer log file:

   INFO  Synchroniser he a() Loading embedded license with Serial Number 1234567890123456...

   INFO  Synchroniser he a() Number of total user licenses : 90
