Deployment Licensing

The Prizm Licensing Utility (PLU) can be used in the command-line mode for obtaining and installing deployment licenses.

Obtaining and Installing a License from the Service

Usage

deploy get <configuration file> <solution name> \[<access key> outputUrl\]

Parameters

<configuration file> – Path to the deployment configuration file. Required.
<solution name> – Solution name for deployment licensing. Required.
<access key> – Access key for annual deployment licensing. Required.
<outputUrl> – A flag to output URL that can be used for licensing through the web portal in case of connectivity error. Can also be used if you are offline or have no Internet access. Optional.

Examples

The following example demonstrates obtaining and installing a deployment license:

java.exe –jar plu.jar deploy get "C:\\Path to\\YourSolutionName\_Config.txt" "Your Solution Name"

The following example demonstrates obtaining and installing a deployment license with the access key:

java.exe –jar plu.jar deploy get "C:\\Path to\\YourSolutionName\_Config.txt" "Your Solution Name" Your-Access-Key

The following example demonstrates obtaining and installing a deployment license with error handling to automatically output a URL to be used for licensing through the web portal. The URL should be opened from a browser on a computer with network connectivity. The URL will provide a license key:

java.exe –jar plu.jar deploy get "C:\\Path to\\YourSolutionName\_Config.txt" "Your Solution Name" outputUrl

Getting a License from the Web Portal using outputUrl

If you are licensing a server that does not have access to the Internet, you can use the following example to set it up.

On the machine that does not have access to the Internet, enter the following command:
```
java.exe -jar plu.jar eval get name@xyzcompany.com requestExtension requestInstallation outputUrl
```
The outputUrl is shown below highlighted in white:
Copy the URL to a file, save it to a USB flash drive, and take it to a machine that has access to the Internet.
Copy the URL from the file on the USB flash drive and paste it into a browser. The following page is displayed:
Verify the email is correct. If you need to update the email, click Edit.
To continue, click Confirm. The following page is displayed:
Copy the License text from the text box on this page (starting with "2.0..."), save it to a file on the USB flash drive, and take it back to the machine without Internet access.
Copy the License text from the file on the USB flash drive and enter it in the command line and run the following command:
```
java.exe -jar plu.jar write `2.0.YourLicenseKeyTextFromUSBFlashDrive`
```
The machine now has a license that has been activated.
