Dbvisit Standby version 7 is making use of a new License Module.
If you are upgrading from a previous version, a new valid license key will be required.
The license key is in the format of seven blocks of 5 characters: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
An license key will look like this (this is an example demo key): BN88K-39633-BBL15-6U61L-56RBM-5RBI5-YSV0F
Even when installing Dbvisit Standby Version 7 for evaluation a trial key is required. This key will be provided as part of the registration process for the download.
If you are a support paying customer, you can contact Dbvisit Software Limited and request your new Version 7 License key which will be provided free of charge |
Before you can apply a Dbvisit Standby license key it is required that you first create a Dbvisit Configuration File (DDC). Once you have a valid DDC file, you can apply your license key as explained in the section below which should always be executed on the Primary Server When using RAC it should be executed on ALL the primary RAC Nodes |
This section will show you how you can review your current license status.
To display your current license information run the command "dbvisit -lic <DDC>"
Linux: dbvisit -lic <DDC>
Windows: dbvisit.exe -lic <DDC>
