License
Once in the console, you will see the License tab: here you will find the company information and the section to introduce new licenses.
Functionality is as follows:
- LICENSE:
- Company identifier: this number is automatically generated when installing the server. Can not be changed.
- Hardware id: this code is automatically generated by the system, after trying to start the Central service, according to the present hardware.
- Required modules: number of processes that use each module. These numbers are calculated automatically.
- License: this code is provided by edinn and it will be updated automatically if you have an active maintenance contract with edinn, or any of its authorized partners, and if your server has a permanent access to https://ecloud.edinn.com/
If your license is about to expire, the system will previously write error messages in the logs with the word "license", and therefore it is recommended to configure the Supervisor tab so that the system will send you emails if errors, or this particular error, occur.
In case you are updating this field manually, follow these steps:
- Before updating the license code, backup the current license code by copying and pasting it to a file. In case the new license code fails, you will be able to restore the current one and therefore the system will not stop while you manage to obtain a valid license.
- Copy the new license code received from edinn or an authorized edinn partner and paste it into this field.
- Click on the Apply button (bottom right) to save the changes.
- From the Activity tab, restart the Central service and verify that it remains executing in green, that it does not stop automatically and that the tasks of the system appear executing in the Activy tab.
- If you wish, click in View Logs (botton left) to see if there exists any error in the system.
- COMPANY INFORMATION: Type here the contact and legal information of the organization using the system. The field NAME is important as it will be the company name that users will have to type to access the system.
