Vertica License Renewals or Upgrades
If your license is expiring or you want your database to grow beyond your licensed data size, you must renew or upgrade your license. Once you have obtained your renewal or upgraded license key file, you can install it using Administration Tools or Management Console.
Uploading or Upgrading a License Key Using Administration Tools
- Copy the license key file to your Administration Host.
- Ensure the license key's file permissions are set to 400 (read permissions).
- Start your database, if it is not already running.
- In the Administration Tools, select Advanced > Upgrade License Key and click OK.
- Enter the absolute path to your new license key file and click OK. The interface prompts you to accept the End-User License Agreement (EULA).
- Choose View EULA.
- Exit the EULA and choose Accept EULA to officially accept the EULA and continue installing the license, or choose Reject EULA to reject the EULA and return to the Advanced Tools menu.
Uploading or Upgrading a License Key Using Management Console
- From your database's Overview page in Management Console, click the License tab. The License page displays. You can view your installed licenses on this page.
- Click Install New License at the top of the License page.
- Browse to the location of the license key from your local computer and upload the file.
- Click Apply at the top of the page. Management Console prompts you to accept the End-User License Agreement (EULA).
- Select the check box to officially accept the EULA and continue installing the license, or click Cancel to exit.
Note: As soon as you renew or upgrade your license key from either your Administration Host or Management Console, Vertica applies the license update. No further warnings appear.
