6-6 BEA Products Installation Guide

Upgrading Licenses from Previous Software Releases

The format of the license.bea file changes with each release of BEA Products software. To

upgrade a

license.bea file from a previous release to a license for the current release, complete

the following steps:

1. Log in to the BEA eLicense Web site at

http://elicense.bea.com.

Note: You need a BEA eLicense account to log in to this Web site. If you do not have a BEA

eLicense account, click the Register link on the Customer Support site to register for

one.

2. In the left navigation area of the Web page, click Upgrade/Downgrade and follow the

instructions on the page. If the license you want to upgrade is not listed, click the Add a

Missing License link. The BEA Licensing team will research the missing license for you.

You will receive an upgraded license file through e-mail. To update the

license.bea file

on your system, see “Updating license.bea Using the UpdateLicense Utility” on page 6-4.

Installing Licenses for Use with Promotional DVD

Distributions

In some cases, BEA distributes software for promotional purposes on DVD. Such DVDs include

installers that do not automatically generate a development license key. Instead, the

DVD folio

directs you to a BEA Web site, where you can obtain a development license file after you supply

a code from the

DVD folio. The license file you obtain allows you to begin using the software

immediately, and entitles you to the same usage rights described for the development license in

Table 6-1, “BEA Products License File Types,” on page 6-2.

When you receive this license file from BEA, complete the following steps:

1. Save the license file using the name

license.bea. Make sure that the filename does not

include a suffix, such as

.txt.

2. Copy the

license.bea file into the BEA Home directory in which your BEA Products

software was installed. For example,

c:\bea.
