Verifying a License

After you have installed the license, you can use the license key checker to verify that everything is in order. The checker returns the license RDN and its attributes to a file. This command has the following syntax; see Table 17 in the section Command Options for details on the syntax:

licchk [-h <ldaphost>] [-D <bindDN>] [-b <baseDN>] 

[-w <password>] -[o <outputFile>]

If you have configured nondefault bind credentials (in the LDAP Connection dialog box) for the directory server, then you must use one or more of the command options to specify the attribute value.

The following sample command specifies a nondefault host address, base DN, and password:

/opt/UMC/ssp/etc/licchk -h 10.13.1.5 

-D cn=umcadmin,o=SDXbase -w acp45

If the directory server uses the default bind credentials, you can simply issue the following command:

/opt/UMC/ssp/etc/licchk
