ftaddlic

Note on usage

Function: Add license key

User group: FT administrator

Functional description

You can use ftaddlic to add a license key. This officially licenses the associated product or associated product component.

The following types of license key exist:

• Basic key that specified the openFT product in question. There may be additional optional license keys depending on the basic license key.

• One or more optional license keys which make it possible to activate additional product components such as, for example, the FTAM protocol or FTP protocol.

The basic key must always be added first. Only then is it possible to add optional license keys in cases where such optional license keys are available for the licensed openFT product.

If this type of basic key is already present then it is overwritten by the ftaddlic command. For example, if the new basic key prohibits the optional extensions FTAM or FTP then any license keys that are present for FTAM and FTP are deleted.

You can display the existing license keys using the ftshwlic command.

If openFT is installed without a basic key then openFT runs as a demo version with full functionality for 30 days. This demo version may only be used for evaluation purposes!
