Installing a new license

From AlfrescoWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

If you've received a new license from Alfresco Sales, then you should have in your possession a file with a name like Customer-EnterpriseTrial-ExpirationDate.lic. This is your Alfresco license file. It must be installed into the Alfresco application before it will take effect.

[edit] How to install on Tomcat 5.5


  • Shut down Alfresco
  • From your Alfresco installation directory, browse to the shared classes extension directory:
  c:\alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\license
  • Remove any existing *.lic.installed files
  • Drop your Customer-EnterpriseTrial-ExpirationDate.lic file into this license directory.

  • Restart Alfresco

Upon startup, Alfresco should detect the existence of the Customer-EnterpriseTrial-ExpirationDate.lic file and install your license. If the license is valid, Alfresco will rename the file to Customer-EnterpriseTrial-ExpirationDate.lic.INSTALLED and begin to utilize the terms of your license immediately.

Should you have any problems with the installation of a license or license extensions, please contact Alfresco Support immediately.
