License Database Linking

To configure sharing network license(s) between multiple databases, follow the steps below.

1.Choose a database to hold the network licenses. This can be an empty EQuIS Database, an existing EQuIS Database, or you can create an external license database as described in License Database Setup.

2.Verify that the database you wish to add linking to has already been updated (see Update EQuIS Database).

3.In SQL Server Management Studio, log in to the database where you will add linking.

4.Add a new record to ST_LICENSE with the following:

a.APP_ID = 1023

b.KEY_TYPE = 4

c.LICENSE_SERVER = database connection string to the database containing the string (see License Features). The License Database Setup page describes the required table permissions.

5.Once logged into the EQuIS database in EQuIS Professional, the ST_LICENSE.LICENSE_SERVER field within that EQuIS database will become an encrypted key string.

Note: Depending on network security, the connection string may need further modification. For example, a VPN may require use of the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) instead of the server name in the connection string.
