Request software licenses

Codar version 1.80 requires a software license.  Codar licensing is based on the number of operating system instances (OSIs) being used in current, active subscriptions.

After initial installation ofCodar version 1.80, when you log in to the Codar Console, a temporary 90-day trial license is activated. Once the trial license expires, you are limited to 25 OSIs. If you created more than 25 OSIs during the trial period, you cannot create any additional OSIs. You can add more licenses at any time to increase your OSI capacity.

After you upgrade to Codar version 1.80, when you log in to the Codar Console, all licenses of earlier versions of Codar are valid and are automatically added.

The following topics are covered in this section:

• Request software license
• Request software license for clustered environment
• Request software license for system with updated IP address

For information on how to view, add, or delete a license, see the Codar Console Help.

Request software license

If you received an Electronic Delivery Receipt, use the link to the licensing portal located in the receipt and follow the online instructions to request a software license. Otherwise, to access the licensing portal, go to http://www.hp.com/software/licensing, enter your Entitlement Order Number, and follow the online instructions to request a software license.

See the Software License Activation Quick Start Guide for more information about requesting a software license.

IP Address Limitations

When you request a software license, you must supply the IP address (IPv4 or Ipv6) of the system on which Codar is installed.

Do NOT use the following IP addresses when requesting a software license:

• Loopback address - 127.0.0.1 (IPv4) or ::1 (IPv6)

Request software license for clustered environment

If you are configuring Codar in a clustered environment, use the IP address of the load balancer (in the examples given in the Configuring an Codar Cluster for High Availability Using an Apache Web Server as a Proxy, this is the APACHE_IP_ADDR; in the examples given in the Configuring an Codar Cluster for High Availability Using a Load Balancer, this is the LOAD_BALANCER_IP_ADDR). The license should be installed on only one node in the clustered environment.

Request software license for system with updated IP address

If you change the IP address of the system on which Codar is running, you must request a new software license.

If you immediately add the new license without restarting Codar, the license will not be accepted. You must restart Codar before adding the new license, see Restart Codar. For more information about managing software licenses, see the Codar Console Help.
