5. Deactivating centralized licensing
Centralized licensing can be deactivated and converted to local licensing:
1. In the MoM, click Clients in the Context List.
2. In the Scoping Pane, right-click the Cell Manager for which you want to deactivate centralized
licensing and then click Configure Licensing to open the wizard. The types and numbers
of licenses available to the selected Cell Manager are displayed.
3. Click the Local option to change licensing from remote to local.
4. Click Finish to apply the configuration.
5. Repeat the steps for all Cell Managers for which you want to deactivate centralized licensing.
6. Log on to the MoM Manager and mount the following directory:
On Windows Server 2008: Data_Protector_program_data\config\server\cell
On other Windows systems: Data_Protector_home\config\server\cell
On UNIX systems: /etc/opt/omni/server/cell
7. Rename the licdistrib.dat file, for example to licdistrib.old.
The changes take effect after you stop and restart the Data Protector services using the omnisv -
stop and omnisv -start commands from the Data_Protector_home\bin (Windows) or
/opt/omni/sbin (UNIX) directory on the MoM Manager and each Cell Manager on which you
made changes.
If the Cell Manager is configured on MC/ServiceGuard, run the cmhaltpkg pkg_name command
to stop and the cmrunpkg -n node_name pkg_name to start the Data Protector package, where
pkg_name is the name of the Data Protector cluster package.
