Users require a valid product license to run XpoLog. An XpoLog license is dedicated per installation server, meaning that you require a unique license for each server on which XpoLog runs. A license must be updated when it expires or when you want to change license settings, such as increasing the data volume handled by XpoLog. From the Settings>License menu item, you can view your license settings, update your license, or generate a server key for a new license.
Generating a Server Key
A unique license must be applied on each deployment of XpoLog. This requires generating a server key and sending it to XpoLog. XpoLog then creates and sends to you a license file, which you can install on the server.
To generate a server key
- Open the XpoLog tab, click on the Settings icon located in the top right of the screen. XpoLog Manager screen opens.
- In the XpoLog Manager use the Left Navigation Panel and select Settings > License.
The XpoLog Center License page opens. - Click generate server key.
A server key is generated for the server. Note that in case running XpoLog as a cluster the entire cluster console is generated on any of the nodes (it is not needed to generate a key per node). - Copy-paste the the server key in an email to XpoLog requesting a license for the deployment, and then click OK to close the Server Key box.
Installing a License
You can install a license onto your server from the License page, by either uploading the license file into XpoLog or copying the text of the license file into the License File textbox.
To install a license:
- In the XpoLog Manager use the Left Navigation Panel and select Settings > License.
The XpoLog Center License page opens. - In the Update License section, in License File, click Browse to select the path to the license file that you want to upload.
Alternately, in License Text, paste the complete license text. - Click save.
The license is updated.
