The Alfresco
license file must be installed before you can use Alfresco.
You must have installed Alfresco before you can
install the license. This is because you use a license directory within the installed
product.
- Copy the license file to your machine.
The license file has a file extension of .lic.
- Ensure that the Alfresco server is not running.
- From your Alfresco installation directory, browse to the
<extension> directory, for example for Tomcat on Windows,
this is:
C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension
- Create the license directory.
- Move the .lic file into the license
directory.
You have installed the Alfresco license file.
When you run Alfresco, the server detects the existence of the .lic file and
installs your license. If the license is valid, Alfresco renames the file
to <license-name>.lic.INSTALLED and you can begin to use the terms
of your license immediately.
