to acquire, install, and update your product license:

About BEA Product Licenses

BEA products use an XML-format license file called license.bea. This license file, stored in

the BEA Home directory, is used for the BEA products installed in that directory. Your BEA

software checks this file at run time to determine which product components you are authorized

to use.

Note: If you have multiple BEA Home directories on your system, each BEA Home must have

license.bea file that authorizes use of the products associated with that directory.

Licenses are release specific. For example, to use WebLogic Server 9.2, you must have a 9.2

license file. To convert a pre-9.2

license.bea file to a WebLogic Server 9.2 license.bea file,

see “Upgrading Licenses from Previous Software Releases” on page 6-6.

The types of license files that can be used as the

license.bea file and the technical restrictions

that they impose are described in the following table.
