Installing the Content Manager server license file

You can install the Content Manager license file by placing license.xml in the default location, or you can rename the file and/or change its location and specify these custom settings in the SDL Tridion MMC Snap-in.

Before you begin

You only need to install the Content Manager server license file if you did not specify a license file during installation.

About this task

A Content Manager license file is specific to the machine on which you installed the Content Manager server. You cannot use this license file on any other computer.

Procedure

  1. To install the Content Manager server license file, do one of the following:
    • Add the license file to the bin\ subdirectory of %TRIDION_HOME% (defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion\) under the file name license.xml.
    • Add the license file to another location and/or change its name.
  2. If you changed the file name, the file location, or both, modify the default information in the SDL Tridion MMC Snap-in.
  3. Start the MMC Snap-in by selecting Programs > SDL Tridion > SDL Tridion Content Manager configuration in the Microsoft Windows Start menu.
  4. Select the SDL Tridion Content Manager > General settings node.
  5. Double-click License file name or path and modify the settings as needed.
  6. Restart your machine for the licensing to take effect.
