Creating a License Object
You can create a license object in a domain and assign the license to application services. You can create the license in the Administrator tool using a license key file. The license key file contains an encrypted original key. You use the original key to create the license.
You can also use the infacmd isp AddLicense command to add a license to the domain.
Use the following guidelines to create a license:
- •Use a valid license key file. The license key file must contain an original license key. The license key file must not be expired.
- •You cannot use the same license key file for multiple licenses. Each license must have a unique original key.
- •Enter a unique name for each license. You create a name for the license when you create the license. The name must be unique among all objects in the domain.
- •Put the license key file in a location that is accessible by the Administrator tool computer. When you create the license object, you must specify the location of the license key file.
After you create the license, you can change the description. To change the description of a license, select the license in Navigator of the Administrator tool, and then click Edit.

The Create License window appears.
