## INTERBASE LICENSING INFORMATION

The install of InterBase 7 prompts for your InterBase license. InterBase licensing is what governs how the Server functions. If you received a License Card containing Certificate ID and Certificate KEY pairs you may enter them at this time. If you did not receive a License Card you have the option of entering an Evaluation License. If you enter a ID of eval and a Key of eval you will have an Evaluation License when the installation completes.

An Evaluation License is valid for 90 days, starting at the date it was created. The number of users supported is 5.

You can add licenses subsequent to installation. You can do so in one of two ways:

1. Run the iblicense command line utility. The iblicense command utility iblicense is located the bin directory enables you to add licenses. To start the iblicense utility, type the following at the UNIX/Linux shell prompt or Windows console prompt:

   `iblicense [-option [parameter]]`

   or

   `iblicense<RETURN>`
   `IB_LICEN> command [-option [parameter]]`

   Commands are:

   `add -key <cert key> -id <cert id>` |  | add a new license
   `display` |  | dislpay all current licenses
   `remove -key <cert key>` |  | remove the license specified by key
   `help` |  | prints this list
   `quit` |  | exit prompt mode
   `z` |  | display iblicense utility version

   Options are:

   `key` |  | certificate key
   `id` |  | certificate id

2. If you are running on the Windows Platforms, run IBConsole and add a license with a Key and ID of eval. Note that IBConsole currently does not allow you to add your first certificate. Your first certificate must be added with iblicense.exe.
