Licensing
Note that this topic is covered in the video below….
Your license can be downloaded after you've both created an ARDI subscription and validated it.
Creating a subscription is done through the ARDI web store. Simply sign in, hit 'Subscriptions' and create one there.
There are two key options to choose when picking subscription - the number of active elements you need, and the number of simultaneous users who will be using the system.
The active element count changes how many assets or data links you can have.
Once you have both created a subscription and installed a copy of ARDI, you'll be able to validate your subscription. This involves getting the server fingerprint file from your ARDI installation and uploading it to the web store. This will allow you to download and install your license file.
Installing your First License
After you've installed ARDI, you'll be prompted to upload your license file.
Updating your License
As your license expiry gets closer, you'll be send emails from your provider letting you know. The ARDI web interface will also raise alerts to let you know that the expiry time is growing near (these alerts will begin to appear 45 days before license expiry).
To update your license before the old one expires, click on the alert to be taken to the license information page. From there, you can find the Renew License button.
Warning
Please ensure that the file you upload is a valid and current license file. Uploading the wrong file will shut-down your ARDI server and all ARDI services.
