LicenseID

Allow instance to request a key from the license server.

Synopsis

[Startup]    LicenseID=n

n is the name of a license key in the target .key file. By default, no key is specified.

Description

If InterSystems IRIS® data platform does not detect a local iris.key file at instance startup, it uses LicenseID to request a license key from the License Server. Each license key loaded in the License Server will have a unique LicenseID.

If InterSystems IRIS starts (or is running) without an active license key and LicenseID is defined, InterSystems IRIS will automatically contact the License Server every 5 minutes to retry license activation. If InterSystems IRIS fails to activate the license key after contacting the License Server, it will then try to activate the local iris.key file every 5 minutes if it is present in the instance’s install-dir/mgr directory.

For more information about license keys, see Managing InterSystems IRIS Licensing.

Changing This Parameter

On the Startup page of the Management Portal (System Administration > Configuration > Additional Settings > Startup), in the LicenseID row, select Edit. Enter a LicenseID.

Instead of using the Management Portal, you can change LicenseID in the Config.StartupOpens in a new tab class (as described in the class reference) or by editing the CPF in a text editor (as described in Editing the Active CPF).
