Licenses



Various BMC AMI Ops Console Management components are licensed products and require one or more license keys from BMC Software. License keys for BMC AMI Ops Console Management are administered here in License Server.

When you request a license, you must provide either the IP address or the Host Code for your server. These values are displayed on the License Server page, under Server Identity. The IP address is usually assigned by your network or IT department. The Host Code is based on the hostname of your server. If your organization prohibits transmitting IP addresses for the purposes of product license keys, use the value from the Host Code at the top of the page when you request a license from BMC. If you request a license based on a host code, it can be used on any server within the sub-domain.
For example, it would work on a server named amicm-host-01.subdomain01.example.com and also amicm-host-02.subdomain01.example.com, but not amicm-host-03.differentsubdomain.example.com.

Use the License Key field to replace the current license key with a new key provided by BMC support. Copy and paste the new key into the field and click the Submit button. The new key is effective immediately.

Important

We recommend restarting the server for the license key to be effective.
