4.1.6. Installing the electronic license keys

Besides the license file(s), no online activation or similar activity is required.

Warning

PNS and its components will not operate without the new license files.

If you fail to install the new licenses during the upgrade, you must copy the license files to the host manually to the following locations:

  • PNS Application-level Gateway (ALG): /etc/vela/license.txt

  • Management Server (MS): /etc/vms/license.txt

  • Content Filtering (CF): /etc/vcf/license.txt

  • Authentication Server (AS): /etc/vas/license.txt

Note

When accessing the licenses, the directory structure is important: for each PNS component licensed, there is a separate subdirectory named after the component (for example, PNS, MS, AS) containing a license file named license.txt. Make sure that all file and directory names are in lowercase. When downloading the licenses from an internal Webserver, the same directory structure must be reproduced on the server. These directories do not need to be placed in the root folder of the Webserver, a virtual directory is also suitable.

The license files of 3rd-party engines are not necessary called license.txt.
