Installing a License on a Microsoft Windows Portal Platform
Use the procedures listed in this section to install the Portal license. If you are replacing a license key with a new one, refer to Removing a Portal License.
Step 1 - Receive the License File
1. The best practice is to delete all prior Portal license key files from the system before you install the new license key, as this new license key replaces all other license keys.
2. Save the new license file on your Portal server and then complete all of the following steps.
Step 2 - Ensure that the Oracle Processes are Running
3. C:\opt\aptare\utils\startoracle.bat
Step 3 - Run the Installation Script and Restart Services
4. Open a DOS command prompt window by entering:
Start > Run > cmd
5. Run the license installer utility: C:\opt\aptare\utils\installLicense.bat
6. When prompted for the name of the license file, enter the complete path to the license key file you saved on your server. Overwrite an existing license if you are prompted to do so. A sample dialog is shown below:
Enter the name of the license file you wish to install [portal.license] : C:\opt\aptare\mycompany.license
