InfoScale 7.4 (and future versions) now utilize .slf license files for Permanent license keys. Instead of manually entering a license key as part of the install, a user will need to specify the location of the .slf file which allows the product to import the file and properly license the product.

Note: If using keyless licensing, this procedure is not needed.

This document will provide the steps on how to apply the license file(s) for the following scenarios:

• Through the Install/Upgrade Wizard (GUI)
• Installing/Upgrading the product via the Silent Installer (e.g. Command Line Interface - CLI)
• Post-Install (e.g. Changing from Keyless to Permanent)

Installation Wizard

1. When prompted via the GUI installer, add the Server (e.g. localhost) that is to be installed/upgraded
2. In the 'License Key' drop-down box, select 'User entered license key'
3. A 'License details...' popup will appear. Browse to the location of the .slf license file and add it (as shown in Figure 1)
4. Select 'OK' and continue on with the installation/upgrade

Silent / Command Line Installer

1. Determine proper command line options to be used for the installer. This can be found in the 'Parameters for Setup.exe' section of the Veritas InfoScale Installation and Upgrade Guide (https://docs.infoscale.com/).
2. When using the LICENSEKEY option, point the installer to the full (absolute) path of the .slf license file.

Example: Setup.exe /s solutions=2 install_mode=1 Telemetry=0 reboot=0 node="Server1" licensekey="C:\Temp\F36494667273_FTX21_INFOSCALE_LIC_ENT_WIN_7_4_324030392.slf" options=all getpatchinfo=0

Post-Install / Keyless to Permanent key change:

1. Open a command prompt (Run as Administrator)
2. Run command: vxlicinstupgrade.exe -k "<slf_file>

Example: vxlicinstupgrade.exe -k "C:\Temp\IS7LC\F36494667273_FTX21_INFOSCALE_LIC_ENT_WIN_7_4_324030392.slf"
