The licensing system on Windows, UNIX, and Linux platforms is similar. After the trial period ends, the license file defines the components that continue to execute and the generation options available.
The license directory contains the licensing software. When the license directory also contains a file that is named ca.olf, the new licenses are merged with existing licenses.
Windows setup installs the licensing software for a new installation or updates the software for an existing installation. During a new installation on a Windows-based system, installation software creates the licensing folder C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\CA_LIC. For a Windows upgrade, the license folder is C:\CA_LIC.
For a new UNIX or a Linux system installation, the installation software creates this licensing folder: /opt/CA/SharedComponents/ca_lic. If there was a previous installation of the licensing software in /ca_lic or /opt/CA/ca_lic, the installation moves the license file to /opt/CA/SharedComponents/ca_lic and replaces the old directory with a symbolic link to /opt/CA/SharedComponents/ca_lic. It creates the symbolic link to maintain support for legacy CA-licensed programs.
The UNIX or Linux installer creates an empty ca.olf. If it does not exist so you can merge licenses.
