Installing a License Key
The license key provides access to software pursuant to the terms of your license. It is an encrypted XML file with a file name ending in .key.
Note: When you upgrade an existing Spectrum Technology Platform installation, you may
continue to use your existing license key. You do not need to get a new one.
To install a license key:
-
Locate the email containing your license key that you received
from Precisely.
Important: You must install the license key within 45 days of receiving it. If you do not you will need to contact Precisely for another license key.
-
Copy the .key file to this directory:
SpectrumPlatformLocation\server\import
The license key is applied to your system. There is no need to restart your server.
If there was a problem installing the license key, check the log file in:
SpectrumDirectory\server\logs
Depending on whether the key was processed successfully or there was an error processing the key, the processed key goes into one of these folders:
- SpectrumDirectory\server\archive\license-keys
- SpectrumDirectory\import\error\license-keys
