Either online or offline licensing can be used to license the Multi-Tenant LoadMaster. Refer to the relevant section below to find out more information.

Note: This step must be performed before the Multi-Tenant LoadMaster password can be set.

curl -k "https://<Username>:<Password>@<MTIPAddress>/mtaccess/alsilicense?kempid=<KempID>&password=<KempIDPassword>"

</Response>

License using the Offline Method

The Multi-Tenant LoadMaster can be licensed offline by using the license command.

A Binary Large Object (BLOB) is needed in order to license using the offline method. The BLOB is sent via email, when requested. For more information on licensing (including details on how to retrieve a BLOB), please refer to the Licensing, Feature Description.

Each time a license is updated a new BLOB is needed. The following is an example of a BLOB:

The BLOB is the body of text from the word begin to the word end, as is highlighted in the example in the screenshot above. The BLOB must be copied and pasted into a text file (in the following example the file is called license.txt).

Example Command

There are a number of methods of using the license command for example, using a CURL command on Linux would look like the following:

curl –X POST -–data-binary “@license.txt” –k "https://<Username>:<Password>@<MTIPAddress>/mtaccess/license"

This command uploads the BLOB file to the Multi-Tenant LoadMaster. The example command above assumes that the license.txt file is in the current directory. If the license.txt file is stored elsewhere, specify the path to the file after the @ symbol.

Example Output 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Response stat="200" code="ok">
<Success>Command completed ok. Machine Successfully Licensed</Success>
</Response>
