You can upgrade your Laserfiche installation to support a different type of DBMS, to support additional repositories, to modify the number of available or allocated users, or to add features (e.g., Email, Audit Trail, Records Management, etc.). These types of upgrades can be performed by simply updating the Laserfiche Server license.
There are three ways of updating your Laserfiche Server license:
- Activation key: If you have an activation key for your Laserfiche Server installation, you can use the activation tool (ActivationTool.exe), which can be found in the Server installation folder. Launch the tool and re-enter your key, then save the resulting license file.
- License Manager: If you registered your Laserfiche Server with a License Manager Server, you can update your Master License and then use it to generate a new Server license. See the Laserfiche Rio Deployment Guide or the License Manager documentation for more information.
- License file: If you have an updated license file (lf.lic or lf.licx), you can use it directly.
In any of the above cases, you will end with a newly-generated license file. Open the Laserfiche Server installation directory (by default, C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\Server) and replace the existing license file with the new license file. (You may back up the existing license file by copying it to another location first, if you desire.)
Once the new license file is in place, restart the Laserfiche Server service. (See Starting or Stopping the Laserfiche Server Service for more information.) When the services has restarted, the new settings will take effect.
Important: The new Server license will not take effect until the Laserfiche Server is restarted.
