Installing a Discovery licence

Installing a licence via Discovery’s web interface

Follow the steps below:

  1. In a web browser, open the following URL:

    http://discovery_host:4567/

  2. Click Main Menu ( ) > Upload New Licence

  3. Paste the Caplin Discovery licence in the Licence Key field.

  4. Click Submit to install the licence.

  5. Click the dialog’s close icon ( )

The new licence is effective immediately. You do not need to restart the Discovery server or any other component in the deployment.

Discovery stores the licence in the database defined by the Discovery configuration option spring.datasource.url, and the licence persists between restarts of the Discovery server.

When deploying a licence to a Discovery cluster, because the cluster nodes share the same database, you only need to deploy the licence to one node. Deploying the licence to one node deploys the licence to all nodes.

Installing a licence as a file

This installation method cannot be used to update an existing expired licence. To update an expired licence, follow instructions in Installing a licence via Discovery’s web interface.

To deploy a Discovery licence as a file, set the Discovery configuration option licence-file-path to the location of the licence file.
