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. Licenses are stored in files called enrollment certificate files. When registered, the licenses are stored in a file named NODELOCK in the current directory from which the server was started.  The nodelock file contains an entry for each license file you register. 

With the exception of the drm.lic and libshare.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 should always specify the total of number of registered licenses, as this may also be used to change the quantity of registered licenses.  For example, you may have 10 registered licenses and you need to register 20, enter 20mgsyslan.lic

License File

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 not case-sensitive.

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

You can obtain the licensed features and register those licenses by entering the following enrollment certificate files:
