7.15 Adding and Configuring Licenses

When developing packages to release to other users or to the public at large, you may need to include a license file with your released and published package. A license file is an HTML file that Designer displays when the user installs a new package.

You can either use one license as a default for all custom packages in your Designer environment or add licenses on a package-by-package basis. You can add a localized license for any of the languages listed in Localizing Packages.

NOTE:You do not need to add a license to a package for that package to function properly.

To add and configure licenses for your custom packages:

  1. Obtain an HTML-format license file from the proper authorities in your company.

  2. (Optional) If you want to use the license as the default for all packages you create, complete the following steps:

    1. Click Windows > Preferences.

    2. Click NetIQ > Package Manager > License Defaults.

    3. Click Browse.

    4. Click the browse button and navigate to the location of the license file you want to use as the default license.

    5. Click OK.

    6. Click the Language drop-down menu and select the appropriate language.

    7. Click Import.

    8. Click OK.

  3. (Optional) If you want to use the license for a specific package, complete the following steps:

    1. In the Outline view, right-click the package in the package catalog to which you want to add a license and select Properties.

    2. Click License.

    3. Click Browse.

    4. Click the browse button and navigate to the location of the license file you want to use as the default license.

    5. Click OK.

    6. Click the Language drop-down menu and select the appropriate language.
