13.0 Updating Your Vibe License

Several Vibe license types are available:

  • Evaluation License: Available from Novell Downloads.

    You receive your 60-day evaluation license when you download the evaluation version of Vibe.

  • Standard Vibe License: Purchased through a OpenText sales representative or OpenText partner.

    The Standard Vibe License gives full Vibe functionality on a per-user basis.

    After you purchase the Standard Vibe License, you can access your license key or view your purchase history in the Novell Customer Center.

If you are upgrading to a new version of Vibe, or if you originally installed Vibe with an Evaluation License, it is easy to update your Vibe site with a new license file.

  1. Copy the new license file that you downloaded from one of the sources listed above into the directory where you originally ran the Vibe installation program.

  2. Rename the existing license-key.xml file to a different name.

  3. Rename the new license file to license-key.xml.

  4. Stop Vibe.

  5. Run the Vibe Installation program, select the Reconfigure Settings option, then select the Basic Installation option.

  6. Click Next through all the installation program pages, then click Install to update your Vibe license.

  7. Start Vibe.

  8. Log in to the Vibe site as the Vibe administrator.

  9. Click the admin link in the upper-right corner of the page, then click the Administration Console icon .

  10. Under Management, click License.

  11. If the contents of the new license file are not displayed, click Reload Vibe License.

  12. Click Close.

At any time, you can generate a report of license usage, as described in License Report in Site Maintenance in the OpenText Vibe 4.0.8 Administration Guide.
