Licensing

A paid license is required to operate an INUBIT Process Engine. Please contact Virtimo AG Support for this purpose.

Requesting a License

To apply for a license, please contact Virtimo AG Support.

To issue a license, the MAC address of the system on which the INUBIT software is to be installed must be provided.

Determining the MAC Address

Windows
You can find the MAC address in the "Ethernet adapter LAN connection" or "Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection" section, in the line labeled Physical Address. Linux

Open the Command Prompt via Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
Run the following command:
```
ipconfig /all
```
A listing is displayed.

Open the console.
Run the following command:
```
/sbin/ifconfig
```
A listing is displayed. The MAC address appears in the first line after HardwareAdresse or HWaddr.

Applying the License

Your license is provided in an XML file (license.xml or license.xml.virtimo).

You will receive the license via email after successfully requesting it. If the email attachment is a ZIP file, extract it. After extracting the ZIP file, the license is available as an XML file.

Applying a New License

On a new Process Engine installation, the license must be placed manually in the server file system. Only then can the Process Engine be started successfully.

Place the license.xml file in the <SUITE-INSTALL-DIR>/inubit/server/ibis_root/conf directory and then start the Process Engine; see Starting/stopping the INUBIT Process Engine

Updating an Existing License

An existing license can be updated manually in the server file system; see Installing a New License

You can also load a new license file into the INUBIT Process Engine using the INUBIT Workbench:

Log in to the INUBIT Workbench as a System Administrator.
Open the burger menu and select Configuration > Update license file….

A file explorer opens.
Navigate to the directory containing the newly received license file.
Select the file and click Open.

The new license is saved in the server directory <SUITE-INSTALL-DIR>/inubit/server/ibis_root/conf under the name license.xml.imported. The existing license is backed up and can be restored via the Workbench.

Roll back license

If the server license was updated via the Workbench, it is possible to restore the previous license:

Log in to the INUBIT Workbench as a System Administrator.
Open the burger menu and select Configuration > Reset license file.
