Step 3: Activating TIBCO Products

Once you have generated and downloaded your licenses file, move it to the system or virtual machine where you are running the TIBCO Activation Service instance to which it is bound. Then, upload it to the TIBCO Activation Service instance and configure your TIBCO products for activation. You need to do this for each instance of TIBCO Activation Service you are running, using the license file bound to each specific instance.

Upload Your License File

To upload a license file into a TIBCO Activation Service instance, use the following command: 

Copy 
tib-activate license upload 

For more information, see License Command.

Configure TIBCO Products for Activation

The URL to your TIBCO Activation Service instance is stored in the /usr/libexec/tib-lm/README.txt file on the system or virtual machine where your instance is running. You will need to configure your TIBCO product that activates with this instance with this URL. See your TIBCO product documentation for details on how to configure it for activation.

At startup, your TIBCO product contacts this instance and requests activation. If you hold an active entitlement to the requesting TIBCO product as defined in the license uploaded to that instance, the TIBCO product starts normally.

Note: If the license file uploaded to your TIBCO Activation Service instance does not contain the TIBCO product requesting activation, the product will shut down immediately.
