Steps for doing an Offline License Activation/Deactivation for Management Console
For offline activation, you will need some assistance from the HP Anyware technical staff.
Scenario 1:
Fresh license activation :
- Login into your account on the HP Anyware self service portal . Don't have an account? Register here.
- Select Management Console as the Product. In the subject line, indicate that this is a Need Help Activating an OFFLINE License.
- Provide the license activation key in the description. HP Anyware support will then advise on the actions required.
- Refer to the "Managing License Offline" in the Management Console Administrators' Guide for more information on the exact steps required.
Scenario 2:
License renewal through offline activation:
In process of license renewal, you send a request to HP Anyware for new license code. Once you have received the license on your email, verify the license code with following condition:
1) If it is different license code compared with previous license code:
Solution: Follow the offline activation process mentioned in scenario 1.
2) If it is the same license code compared with previous license code:
Solution: Deleting existing license code by referring following steps:
- SSH to the MC or open the console
- Change path to the licensing folder:
cd /opt/teradici/licensing - Get an output of the licenses
./mc_view_lic.sh
Output will look like thisFulfillment ID: XXXXXXXX
Entitlement ID: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
Expiration date: 01-Apr-2017 -
Type this in to allow manual manipulation of the license store
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/opt/teradici/licensing' - Now delete the license using the fulfillment ID of the license required from the output of ./mc_view_lic.sh from step 3.
./appactutil -delete XXXXXXXX - Verify it is removed
./appactutil -view
The license should be removed from the store and the MC will be back to standard edition.
Go back to scenario 1 steps for completion of offline activation.
