Upgrading Afaria Licenses

If you have a version of Afaria installed with an earlier version of Unwired Platform, and need to upgrade to a standalone version of Afaria with more license options enabled, you need to change the serial number before they are enabled.

The server configuration area of the Afaria Administrator lets you define parameters for the Afaria Server, including new license data.

  1. Obtain a new serial number.

    Sybase license fullfilment generates an Afaria license string that includes a new serial number. For subsequent option upgrades, use the same serial number to incrementally update licenses.

  2. Define new software licenses in Afaria Administrator.
    The License Compliance page appears empty until you define licensing details. Once you have defined these software licenses, the page shows data for Client category, Manufacturer, Application, Size, Version, # (number) Purchased, Effective and Expiration dates, and any Notes you add. Initially, licenses are sorted by Client category, Manufacturer, then Application. See Afaria Reference | Platform > Server Configuration > License Compliance.
