Installing the EPICenter Software
To add a license key for an optionalEPICenter product module, use the instlic utility.
InWindows,runthe
instlic commandusingtheRun commandfrom theWindowsStart
menu, or from anMS-DOS command window. From Solaris, run the command from a
commandshell. The
instlic utility is found in the EPICenter install directory, by default
epc3_1 in Windows, or /opt/epc3_1 on a Solaris system.
Enter the command followed by the 14-character license key, as follows:
instlic <license_key>
See “Adding or Updating the License Key” on page 2-10 (for Windows) or “Adding or
Updating a License Key” on page 2-17 (for Solaris) for further instructions.
Upgrading from a Previous Release
If you have the previous software release installed, the installation script can also migrate
your database information tothe new EPICentersoftwareversion. The installationprocess
willupgradeonly the previous releaseof the software—for theExtremeWareEPICenterSE
release 3.1, you can upgrade from ExtremeWare EPICenter 3.0, but not from any earlier
versions of the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager software. If you are running one of the
older versions (ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, or 2.1) you must do a new
install of the EPICenter 3.1 software.
There is one caveat concerning the upgrade:
• Server-side configuration changes (specifically, edits you’ve made to
extreme.properties file) are not copied. The extreme.properties file has been
removed in EPICenter 3.1, and the server configuration settings are now handled
through the EPICenter client in the Administration module. You must re-enter any
configurationchangesthroughtheServerPropertiespageintheAdministrationapplet.
