Licensing the server





About FirstClass licensing
Your server requires licenses to operate properly. These licenses tell Open Text Social Workplace that you have a registered server, and indicate what features you've purchased and how many people can connect to your system.
You can add licenses to any registered server. Licenses can only be added to one server; you cannot have the same license on two different servers at the same time, as license files are linked to a specific server serial number.
You can view your license information on the Licensing tab of the System Profile form.

Gateways and services do not require licenses for their connections.
.KEY and .LIC files
There are two kinds of license files, .KEY files and .LIC files.
A .KEY license is a server license, and is the first license you add to your system. All other licenses are .LIC files and can be added in any order once the .KEY license has been applied.





How to add licenses
Most times, you will receive a license through the FC Update Service container.
To apply licenses:
1       Open the FC Update Service container on the administrator Desktop.
2       Select the document corresponding to the desired upgrade.
3       Click Apply Update.
4       Confirm that the upgrade was successful.

Although we recommend applying licenses through the FirstClass Update Service, a .KEY license can also be added through the System Profile (Licensing tab) and any license can be applied using FirstClass scripting.
