Change or switch cloud licenses

If you have administrator privileges, you can change the basic modules of cloud licenses or change the license center account, or switch cloud licenses to other licenses. IServer provides two ways to change or switch cloud licenses: through initialization configuration changes and through system configuration file changes.

 Note: After saving the modified license settings, restart the iServer to take effect.

1. Change in that initialization configuration

It is recommended that you use the initial configuration to make visual changes to cloud licensing. The specific steps are as follows:

  1. Access the iServer service management page as an administrator (http://<server>:<port>/iServer/manager/), click on the "License" tab
  2. Click the "License Type" and "Switch License Type" buttons in sequence to enter the initialization wizard
  3. Click "Next" according to the wizard.
  4. Go to the "Configuring License" page to change your cloud license or switch to a different license
  1. Click "Next" to complete the license change and enter the completion interface. Click the link on the page to http://supermapiserver:8090/iserver/. Go to the iServer homepage and click the link http://supermapiserver:8090/iserver/admin-ui/home to enter the iServer management page

2.Changes in the system config file

You can also clear the cloud license and configure additional licenses by changing the system config file. Open 【iServer installation directory】\webapps\iserver\WEB-INF\iserver-system.xml to configure. For example:

  <licenseMode>CloudLicense</licenseMode>
  <cloudlicensesetting>  
    <userName>111111111@qq.com</userName>
    <password>portal_123</password>
    <eMail>111111111@qq.com</eMail>
    <activeLicenseId>db84c900ac6d4775956425f905e9b64a</activeLicenseId>
    <activeLicenseReturnId>b3d3d4f13b28447d83ffed9ed4fdb0ab</activeLicenseReturnId>
    <activeMode>ONLINE</activeMode>
  </cloudlicensesetting>

Please stop iServer first, remove <licenseMode> and <cloudlicensesetting> node, and then restart the iServer to reconfigure the license you want to use.

Application scenario

Cloud license not only enables the use of licenses anytime and anywhere, but also brings great convenience for users to use and manage licenses. In the following scenarios, cloud licensing may play a better role:

  1. For application systems with many GIS servers and distributed in different regions, the use of cloud licensing can realize the unified monitoring, management and distribution of all licenses. In addition, when one machine breaks down, the license can be quickly transferred to other machines to continue to use, so as to reduce losses.
  2. With the increasing demand for GIS services, the server needs to obtain more functional licenses to provide more services for users. In the process of configuring the license on the server, the cloud license provides a more convenient and faster way to activate and update the license than traditional way to update the license.
