Setup Licensing

When you purchase CA Automation Point, you receive a license certificate with your order. To run CA Automation Point on a Server machine, you need to access your license for the product.

To access your CA Automation Point license

  1. Within the ca_lic directory (usually located under the Program Files\CA\SharedComponents directory, or at the root of the machine), search for a file named ca.olf.
  2. If the ca.olf file does not exist, use a text editor to create a file with that name. Copy all of the information from the Execution Key from your license certificate into this file, and save it into the ca_lic directory.
  3. If the ca.olf file does exist, open it using a text editor and make the following edits:
    1. Replace all lines beginning with ID_ with the ID_ lines indicated in the Execution Key from your license certificate.
    2. At the bottom of the file, immediately following any existing FEATURE lines, add the FEATURE line from the Execution Key from your license certificate.

      Notes:

      • Do not remove any existing FEATURE lines.
      • The FEATURE line may wrap to a second line on the license certificate, but it must be entered on a single line with no carriage return in the ca.olf file.
    3. Save the edited ca.olf file into the ca_lic directory.

To make the license installation process easier, a merged license file based on your Site ID is available to download from http://ca.com/support.

Note: Check your license certificate for the most up-to-date licensing instructions.
