Performing Licensing

The details specified below are based on the assumption that valid license files are
>
available to the user.
During installation of the Customer License Agent CLA on the service PC or on the HiPath 5000
server (see Figure 8-2), an import subdirectory is created in the installation directory.
If the user has received a valid license file (<license>.xml), there are two options:
The license file can be stored manually in the specified subdirectory import.
●
The Customer License Manager CLM can be activated and used to make the license file
●
automatically available for the CLA. Information about this can be found in the Customer
License Manager online help.
The license file in XML format contains information about all products that are subject to man-
datory licensing and the MAC address with which these licenses are linked. Feature IDs define
the number of licenses available and the length of time for which they are valid. A signature en-
sures that subsequent manipulation of the license file content is always detected. Invalid
changes to the license file are therefore not possible.
Distribution of the licenses to the relevant features, interfaces, and products is performed using
HiPath 3000 Manager E.
