Licensing

AggreGate uses Named Licenses that are locked to the server or virtual machine where AggreGate Server is running. If you have purchased AggreGate License, you need to report your AggreGate Server Activation Key to Tibbo so that we may generate a Named License file to activate your AggreGate Installation.

A activation key is a text string that serves as a unique identifier of your AggreGate Server instance.

As AggreGate License is locked to a certain AggreGate Server installation, it is necessary to perform a production installation of AggreGate Server before proceeding. This means that AggreGate Server must be installed on the same PC where it will run during production use. See Installing AggreGate Server for details.

Getting Activation Key

There are two ways to obtain the Activation Key:

  • Using the Tray Menu of a running AggreGate Server instance

  • Using the activation.txt file

Getting the Activation Key Using the Tray Menu

This method should be used in most cases, except for when AggreGate Server cannot be started successfully (e.g. due to an expired trial license) or when it is running in a headless environment (e.g. on a Linux server).

  • Right-click the tray menu icon and select View Activation Key. The Activation Key dialog will pop up.

  • Click Copy To Clipboard.

  • Paste the Activation Key into an e-mail message and send it to Tibbo.

Getting the Activation Key from the File

When AggreGate Server is launched, it writes its Activation Key into a file named activation.txt that is located within the AggreGate Server installation directory. This happens even if AggreGate Server cannot complete its startup successfully because of an expired trial license or for any other reason.

To get your activation key, launch AggreGate Server at least once, then open activation.txt in any text editor.

License Activation Procedure

Activating your AggreGate License is very simple. Once you've purchased a commercial AggreGate license and sent your Activation Key to Tibbo, we send you your Named License file by e-mail. This file is called server.license.

To activate your license, just put this file into your AggreGate Server installation directory (overwrite any existing Trial License file) and restart AggreGate Server.

License Server

Large enterprise customers with many AggreGate servers deployed in their environment may use centralized license management via a license server.
