Changing the product license model

You must configure your Spotfire environment according to the license model you use, so that you can assign the correct product licenses; either the new licenses (Data Science, Analytics, Analysis Consumer, Analysis Viewer) or the legacy licenses (Analyst, Business Author, Consumer).

About this task

Important: As a Spotfire administrator, you are responsible for assigning licenses to user groups so that your company's use of Spotfire complies with the product licenses defined in the commercial agreement.

The product license model (new or legacy licenses) to use in your environment is determined by your current contract. If you are not sure about the product license model of your contract, contact your Spotfire Account team.

When your commercial agreement is updated to use the new product licenses (Data Science, Analytics, Analysis Consumer, Analysis Viewer), you must change the license model in your environment accordingly.

Procedure

On the computer running the Spotfire server, open a command-line interface in the directory that contains the file config.bat (config.sh on Linux).
Export the active server configuration with the export-config command.
With the set-config-prop command, set the property licenses.version in the exported configuration file:
- New licenses (Data Science, Analytics, Analysis Consumer, Analysis Viewer)
```
config set-config-prop -n licenses.version -v 2
```
- Legacy licenses (Analyst, Business Author, Consumer)
  Note: If you use the legacy product license model, you can also purchase and assign Spotfire Data Science licenses, which enables you to use advanced features for data science and industry-specific data science add-ons.
```
config set-config-prop -n licenses.version -v 1
```
With the import-config command, import the updated configuration back into the Spotfire database.
Restart the Spotfire server.
