Licensing the Distributed7 package

The Distributed7 package is licensed using a key file, which is included in the price, but is not shipped with the package. Although you can install the software without license key file /usr/ss8/d7/access/etc/license.dat , it will not run. To obtain the license key file, contact your Blueworx representative.

The license key file is specific to the machine in which you install your software, so you need to provide the machine id when you request the key file from your Blueworx representative. To find out the machine id, log onto the machine and use the following command:

uname –m

Each machine within a SS7 cluster needs a license file. When requesting licenses for a cluster, do so as a complete group, as each license needs to know the size of the cluster. If an additional Blueworx Voice Response client is added to a SS7 cluster, a new group of licenses is required, and the existing licenses need to be updated to reflect the increase in cluster size.

Note:

If you install additional SS7 adapters in a system unit, you may need a replacement license key file to handle the increased number of Links.
If you move Distributed7 to a different computer, you need to request a new license key file for that computer.
