2.0 Generating Product License Keys

License keys for ChangeMan DS are issued based on specific quantities of users and Communication Agents. To ensure your new license key is issued for the correct component quantities, Serena has created a license utility which must be run prior to product installation to ensure the correct keys are created. This utility can be run against ChangeMan DS version 5.4.1 or later.

To run the license reporting utility:

  1. Log on to the Serena Online Support site with your Serena Support user ID and password and find Solution 12862 to obtain the license reporting utility. Download the attached file, LicenseReport.exe.

  1. Double-click on the file to unzip it. Select a location where you want the unzipped files placed and click OK when complete.

  2. Navigate to the location of the unzipped files and copy LicenseReport.exe (LicenseReport on UNIX) to a system on the same network as your ChangeMan DS Main Server.

  3. From a command line, go to your directory where the utility is located and enter:



 
	licensereport -user:<admin> -host:<host>

where:

A report displays the ChangeMan DS server name and IP address, the ChangeMan DS version and date, and the number of licensable users and Communication Agents.

  1. Capture this report text and send it to Order Processing at order@serena.com when asking for a new license key. If you are a Serena Distributor you will need to forward the end-customer results to order@serena.com with the Product Request Form.
