Full vs. trial licenses
Wave licenses are available as full or trial licenses.
•A full license can be used for a period of time before it must be activated. If the grace
period elapses and you do not activate the license, you will no longer be able to configure
the type of system resource controlled by the license or use the add-on, as described in
the table on page 24-4.
•A trial license lets you evaluate a feature or add-on for a period of time. Trial licenses
cannot be activated—after the trial period expires, you must purchase a full license to
continue using the feature or add-on.
Obtaining Wave licenses
Contact your Wave provider for the licenses required for your specific configuration. You may
want to purchase additional licenses to allow for expected system growth so that you do not
have to wait for a license the next time you want to expand your system.
Wave licenses are supplied by your Vertical provider in the following formats:
•
Wave license files. License files can be imported directly onto the Wave Server. License
files are named LICxxxxxxx.LIC, where x = the sales order number.
•
Acrobat file. Each license file is accompanied by an Acrobat file that lists the included
licenses. If the license file itself is lost or unreadable, you can enter the license keys in the
associated Acrobat file manually.
•
Printed copy. When you initially receive your Wave Server, a printed copy of your
license information is included in the box.
Important: Before proceeding, ensure that you received the correct licenses by reviewing the
Acrobat file that came with your license file or the printed copy that came with your Wave
Server. If you have any questions, contact your Vertical provider before entering and activating
the licenses.
