Submitting a new file

Only a master license server can handle modification of the license data. The syntax of the commands to save new data files to the license server:

SlmCmd –new… <filename> [-product <product-id>]

  • -newlic: Submit a license file.
  • -newdtp: Submit a desktops file.
  • -newusr: Submit a user file (product ID required).
  • -newsrv: Submit a server file (product ID required).

The data files that are submitted to the server must be XML files. The files are either directly activated or become active when a new activation key is installed.

This example shows how to submit a new license file to the server:
C:\>SlmCmd -newlic license.xml
Submitting file to license-server.
        Source file     : license.xml
        Filetype        : License file
        Filesize        : 915
OK

Note that if you submit user files or server files, you must always specify the product identification number.
