How do I update my License (i.e. after license upgrade)?

A license update is used to download the latest license information from the Monetra licensing server. Monetra never 'calls-home' to retrieve license data automatically, so when purchasing a license upgrade you must also deploy a new license file onto your Monetra server. Please note that a license update does not perform a Monetra version upgrade.

Update via the Monetra Installer (GUI): Windows, Mac and X-Windows (*nix) users.

  1. Run the Monetra Installer application.
  2. Click next at the email and password screen.
  3. Highlight the Monetra Engine row, and choose 'Update' at the top. (Note: Be sure to choose UPDATE, not UPGRADE. Upgrade would perform a version upgrade, not a license update.)
  4. If the version of Monetra being used is less than 8, Monetra must be restarted. Run the Monetra Manager application. On the main 'general' screen restart Monetra by choosing Stop and Start button.

Update via the Monetra Installer Console Application: *nix users without X-Windows.

  1. Run the Monetra Installer application.
  2. Choose I for Internet installation.
  3. Enter your email and passcode (if not defaulted already).
  4. Enter the license ID of the Monetra Engine to upgrade.
  5. Enter L for License Update. (Note: Be sure to choose UPDATE, not UPGRADE. Upgrade would perform a version upgrade, not a license update.)
  6. Restart Monetra (if version less than 8): /etc/init.d/monetra restart
