How License Activation Works

One DevTest Solutions license (devtestlic.xml) is issued for each enterprise. This file unlocks all functionality of DevTest Solutions. When you install your first DevTest Server with the DevTest Solutions Setup wizard, you navigate to the license file. The Setup process then installs the Enterprise Dashboard and places that file in the DevTest Server installation directory (LISA_HOME). When you install more DevTest registry servers, you provide the URL to the Enterprise Dashboard Server.

Note: To change the location of the Enterprise Dashboard database, you must rerun the installer while retaining the current database schema. Back up customized properties files before you reinstall. These include local.properties, site.properties, and the various vmoptions files.

Important! If the URL to the Enterprise Dashboard changes, you must update the local.properties file in the LISA_HOME directory for each registry server that reports to the Enterprise Dashboard, setting the lisa.enterprisedashboard.service.url property with the new URL.

When you start the Enterprise Dashboard process and each registry process, the Enterprise Dashboard process reads the registry settings and it activates the registries. The activated registries are displayed on the Enterprise Dashboard UI for your verification.

Important! If the host name or port of a registry changes, you must restart the registry so that the Enterprise Dashboard can reactivate it.
