Enabling product features by updating the license key string

M-Business Server lets you enable or disable certain product functions by modifying variables in the configuration files. This section provides instructions for changing access to some product features by editing the license key string.

During installation, you are prompted for a license key. The license key controls the server functionality, the user limit, and the length of time the server is enabled. Generally, you should not need to change your license key. The situations that require you to change your license key include:

Adding functionality to your server and clients.
Increasing the total number of users allowed on your server.

You can also increase the number of users allowed by simply adding a license in the Administrator Console. See Adding a server license.
Extending the duration of the license.

To update your license key, edit the license string in both the sync.conf.default and agsoap.conf.default files.

To manually edit the license string and activate a license

Use a text editor to open <M-Business_Home>/conf/sync.conf.default.
Locate the ServerLicense line and replace the PLACE_LICENSE_HERE string (or the prior license string) with the server license string you received in an e-mail message.

A valid license line looks like this in sync.conf.default:
ServerLicense K8OhbcykViqiI1NnXlA/XywzFg+Fx6TZ=
Save the file.
Use a text editor to open <M-Business_Home>/conf/agsoap.conf.default.
Locate the ServerLicense line and replace the PLACE_LICENSE_HERE string (or the prior license string) with the server license string you received in an e-mail message.

A valid license line looks like this in agsoap.conf.default:
SoapPref ServerLicense K8OhbcykViqiI1NnXlA/XywzFg+Fx6TZ=
Save the file.
Run the defaults_setup script located in the <M-Business_Home>/conf directory.

Windows: defaults_setup.bat

UNIX: defaults_setup
Restart M-Business Sync Server.
