Installing the license file

You must install a license file that contains an Archive Manager license key before you can use Archive Manager. Licensing is based on CPU usage and the number of Web sites you want to archive. To install the license, you must have administrator access to the machine on which you are installing.

To obtain the license, contact SDL Tridion Customer Support. For more information about contacting SDL Tridion Customer Support, refer to the SDL Tridion World Web site at http://www.sdltridionworld.com/.

By default, your Archive Manager license file must be accessible to the Archive Manager Modules. If you scale out your Archiver to a separate machine, the license needs to be accessible from that machine, but no longer from the Modules. If you install the Archive Manager Java Web service (only required if your Archive Manager Explorer does not access the Archiver database directly), it also needs access to the license.
