Stack multiple licenses

You can stack multiple licenses either from the Portal UI or through the command line.

To add a license from the Portal UI, follow the steps described in Installing a License section of this document.See Install a license.

To add a license from the command line, install using these OS-specific commands as applicable:

  • On Linux:

    /opt/aptare/utils/installlicenseUI.sh <path of the license file>

  • On Windows:

    C:\opt\aptare\utils\installlicenseUI.bat <path of the license file>

Note:

When a permanent license is installed, any evaluation license that is installed will be removed.
