Manually installing a license file
If you did not have a license file when you installed SDL LiveContent Reach, or if you have a new license file to install, follow this procedure.
Procedure
- Stop your application or service.
- If you are using a third-party web application server, stop the application server's service. For example, if you are using Apache Tomcat, stop the Apache Tomcat service.
- If you are using the bundled web application server, stop the SDL LiveContent Reach database.
- On Windows, stop the LiveContent XML Database service.
- On Linux, log in as the root user, and type the following at a command prompt:
/etc/init.d/SDL_LiveContent stop
- Stop the SDL LiveContent Reach license service by doing one of the following:
- On Windows, stop the SDL_License service.
- On Linux, log in as the root user, and type the following at a command prompt:
/etc/init.d/SDL_License stop
- Copy the new license file to the license directory.
By default, this is C:\Program Files\XyEnterprise\SDL_License on Windows and /opt/XyEnterprise/SDL_License on Linux. The license file can be named anything, but must have a .lic extension. Make sure there is only one file in this directory with the .lic extension; the license manager loads all files with a .lic extension.

- On Windows, start the SDL_License service.
- On Linux, log in as the root user, and type the following at a command prompt:

- Start the application or server.
- If you are using a third-party web application server, start the application server's service. For example, if you are using Apache Tomcat, start the Apache Tomcat service.
- If you are using the bundled web application server, start the SDL LiveContent Reach database by doing one of the following:
- On Windows, start the LiveContent XML Database service.

/etc/init.d/SDL_LiveContent start
