Licensing

Both the Server and Studio (including its companion Local Test server) are supplied with default install-restrictive licenses. While these licenses enable you to start the Server and Studio, they are temporary and powerless; nothing can be deployed or installed until permanent or subscription licenses have been requested and applied to each Studio and Server installation. 

Licensing checks occur whenever a server is selected from the Server Environment drop-down in the Admin Console. Clarify begins prompting you 15 days before the expiring license. A remote Server with an expired license will not start. 

These topics discuss the processes required to view, request, and apply different licenses to Studio installations.

Requesting

Once a license has been requested, Cleo provides a new license file, which is then applied to either a Studio or Server installation. This topic discusses how to request the license for the Studio. 

From the main menu, select Help | View Studio Information. The Studio Information screen appears, from which you can use the Request License button to process the request.  

Licensing the Studio

Both the Studio and its Local Test server are licensed together through this process. This topic explains how to apply a license to a Studio installation. This task takes place from the Admin Console's Server Environment toolbar. 

1. Stop the Local Test server. 

2. Close the Studio. 

3. Place the license file (license.txt) into the <Clarify_Studio install>\runtime directory. 

4. Open the Studio. 

5. Start the Local Test server.

Studio Information Screens

Licensing screens provide information related to license type and edition, expiration, platform, and other information specific to your Studio or Server installation. They also provide the means to electronically request a license.

Studio Information

The Studio license screen provides product, version, and build information specific to your Studio installation. This also includes the expiration date as well as the operating system. In addition, the screen provides the following license information:

• Number of Maps: the number of Rulesets available for your particular licensing agreement.
• License Type: the type of license that has been applied to the Studio or Server.
• Syntax: the syntax categories currently supported by your particular licensing agreement.
• Connectors: This section displays the names of any Cleo Connectors available to the license.
• Node Data: This section displays system data required by Cleo to assign a permanent license.

Types of Licensing

Clarify supports several different types of licensing depending on the purpose to which you will use the Studio and Server installations. Some types are included with default installations, while others are not. 

This topic provides a general description of these license types. For more information, please contact your Customer Account Manager.
