Your WebLogic Real Time software cannot be used without a valid license. When you install your software, the installation program installs an expiring production license (license.bea) into the BEA_HOME/jrockit-realtime20_XXX/jre/ directory, to allow you to start using the product immediately.
The following sections explain how to acquire, install, and update your product licenses:
BEA products use an XML-format license file called license.bea. In WebLogic Server environments, this license file is stored in the BEA Home directory and is used for the BEA products installed in that directory. Your BEA software checks this file at run time to determine which product components you are authorized to use.
For WebLogic Real Time, access to the JRockit Deterministic GC option and JRA tool require an additional license key in the license.bea file in the JRockit /jre directory. For instructions on updating this license, see Manually Updating Your BEA JRockit License.
| Note: | See the End-User License Agreement for specific license terms and conditions. |
When you install WebLogic Real Time, an expiring production license file (license.bea) is installed on your system. By default, your software uses the evaluation production license installed with the product so that you can start using it immediately.
The technical restrictions that WebLogic Real Time production license file imposes are:
http://www.bea.com.| Note: | The license.bea file conforms to the XML grammar definition. The XML definition (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>) must be at the very beginning of the license.bea file. There cannot be any spaces or line breaks before the XML definition. |
When you install WebLogic Real Time, the installation program generates an expiring 60-day evaluation license.bea file for use with the software and installs it in the BEA_HOME/jrockit-realtime20_XXX/jre/ directory.
In some cases, however, you must update the license.bea file separately, independent of the installation process. For example, you must update your license file if at least one of the following is true:
In each of these cases, you will receive a new license file from BEA, the contents of which must be included in the license.bea file in the BEA_HOME/jrockit-realtime20_XXX/jre/ directory.
To allow you to start using the product immediately, the installers installs an evaluation JRockit R27.3 production license (license.bea) with Deterministic GC and JRA keys, into the BEA_HOME/jrockit-realtime20_XXX/jre/ directory. However, after 60 days, this evaluation license must be replaced with non-expiring JRockit R27.3 production license.
These steps explain how to update the evaluation JRockit license file with a non-expiring JRockit R27.3 production license:
BEA_HOME/jrockit-realtime20_XXX/jre/
| WARNING: | If you already have a JRockit Mission Control license, you should make a backup copy before overwriting it with the Deterministic GC and JRA tool license. |
license.bea, thus, the full path to the license should be:BEA_HOME/jrockit-realtime20_XXX/jre/license.bea
-Xgcprio:deterministic option from a Java command line.startRealTime (.cmd/.sh), to see how to start BEA JRockit with Deterministic GC enabled.| Note: | Follow steps 2-4 when updating the BEA JRockit license with either a WebLogic Real Time 2.0 CD-ROM kit evaluation production license or a WebLogic Real Time 2.0 non-expiring production license obtained from BEA. |
The format of the license.bea file changes with each release of WebLogic Real Time software. To upgrade a license.bea file from a previous release to a license for the current release, complete the following steps:
http://elicense.bea.com.| Note: | You need a BEA eLicense account to log in to this Web site. If you do not have a BEA eLicense account, click the Register link on the Customer Support site to register for one. |
You will receive an upgraded license file through e-mail. To update the license.bea file on your system, see Manually Updating Your BEA JRockit License.
