Details

This article provides a license.cfg file and information on how to apply the license to Universal Content Server (UCM) products.

With the installation of the Universal Content Server product a demonstration license is installed. The demonstration license allows a limited number of check-ins. Full operation of the Universal Content Server, and use with add-on products, requires the application of a full license or the installations of the appropriate patchset <Patch 6314542> for 7.5.2 or <Patch 6314547> for 7.5.1.

The Content Server registration procedure described in the installation guide is no longer required. Instead of using the Register Online procedure, the procedure described in this article is used to install a Content Server license.

4. Click on the Register Manually button.

5. Enter the values from the license.cfg file for Feature Code and Signature:

Feature Code: M200102
Signature: ACEP 99XK 6K6C G9DP

6. Click the Update button.

Method 2: Copy the license file to the file system directory
