CA SRM and CA ARCServe Backup Licensing

CA SRM and CA ARCServe Backup require that you license the product to receive authorized and uninterrupted access to its components, options, and agents. If you do not license CA SRM and CA ARCServe Backup after 30 days, an error message is displayed every day and every time a license check occurs (for example, when the user attempts to register a new object), until you license the product.

CA SRM and CA ARCServe Backup are licensed using an Automated License Program (ALP) Key Certificate. The ALP includes an Execution Key that must be placed in the ca.olf file on the Application Server. This file is usually located in the CA_LIC directory at C:\ (Windows) or in /opt/CA (Unix and Linux). If you have an existing ca.olf file, you can add the Execution Key for CA SRM to it.

You can also obtain your current ca.olf file by going to http://ca.com/support and downloading the license file. For more information, see the section below.

Note: This registration process is required only for the Application Server machine.
