Converting the evaluation license

If you initially installed WebSphere Portal Express using the evaluation license and then purchased the product, you can convert the installed evaluation license to a production license. You can do this at any time, before or after the evaluation license expires.

You do not need to reinstall the program files to convert the evaluation license. However, the license conversion utility must have access to the purchased production software. You can use either physical media (Quick Start Server Install CD) or a new installation image that you downloaded to the server's hard drive. You cannot use the evaluation software to convert the evaluation license.

  1. Run the stopServer.bat WebSphere_Portal -user admin_userid -password admin_password task from the wp_profile_root\bin directory.

  2. Run the ConfigEngine.bat install-license -Dlicense=media_filepath task from the wp_profile\ConfigEngine directory, where media_filepath is the location of the WebSphere Portal Express CD or downloaded installation image, for example d:\ if the CD is in driver D or c:\wpdownload for the installation image. When the task completes, a message confirms that the product is now licensed for use.

  3. Run the startServer.bat WebSphere_Portal task from the wp_profile_root\bin directory.
