Trial license enabling
Hello.
I'm trying to install RAM 7.5.0.2 for evaluation. According to download page installation includes 60 days trial license which is fine for me. There are no any hints how to enable (use) this license during installation. The only hint I found here, mentione that License server should be empty to enable trial license: https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10358&highlight=trial But the problem is that configuration manager does not allow me to left license server field emty. I've got error Could somebody provide any instructions/hints how to install RAM with trial license? Thanks in advance. |

Hi,
Is this a brand new installation? The included default trial license is only available for a brand new database. When you install do not point to a License Server. It will automatically have the trial license with out a license server. If you point to a server you will wipe it out. But if you did point to a server then for 7502 brand new installation on the Configuration page below the license server line there should be a link or button or something like that which will restore the trial license if it is within 60 days of the installation. How you are installing? Using Server Setup or by hand? -- Rich Kulp Rational Asset Manager developer |

Hello
Thank you for reply. It is a new installation. I'm using Oracle DB, not a DB2. Before installing I've recreated DB objects once again (executed scripts provided with RAM installation for Oracle DB setup) to ensure that DB objects are recreated. RAM Configuration Tools shows that license server is empty. But I can not skip it (leave it blank). So, I can not finish RAM post-install configuration wtithout License Server I'm installing using IBM Installation Manager (in fact, started from launch.sh in RAM install archive). Whould it be possible that Oracle DB causes an issue? |

It shouldn't of. The license part is not database specific.

I'm going to have to turn you over to the Server Setup guy. I don't know
that part of the code. -- Rich Kulp Rational Asset Manager developer |
Can you activate the logs section from Server setup
Right hand top of the screen, Tools - View hide log Then test the license section grab whatever is in the logs section and paste it here. if there is nothing useful there, there is also a download all logs. we might need that if the logs section does not reveal anything. as a last ditch suggestion, you can try is entering 27000@valid_host_name in RAM server setup, This will allow you to proceed through setup , However when you use RAM ,you need to go to the RAM configuration page (Administration > Configuration) License section and restore the trial license key. However bear in mind at that point of time, if there is any problem in your trial key it will show up again. |

Your build id appears to be alright.
In that case can you try the workaround we suggested earlier This will allow you to proceed through setup , However when you use RAM ,you need to go to the RAM configuration page (Administration > Configuration) License section and restore the trial license key. However bear in mind at that point of time, if there is any problem in your trial key it will show up again.' |

OK. I will try.
Could you please clarify what does mean? Should I just remove license server address or eneter something? Thank you. |
