Load the License File

You should have received a license file along with the installation media. License files typically follow the naming convention: aPrioriLicense_YYYMMDD_customer name.apz

• Some web browsers change the file extension of the license file from .apz to .zip. If this happens you can leave the extension as .zip.

• When you load the license, you must also create the first user.

• The command is case sensitive

• Put quotes around any parameters that have a space in them

To load the license:

1 Open a command prompt at the \bin directory in your aPriori installation folder.

2 Type the command loadlicense.cmd and press enter. This command shows you the help for the command.

3 Type the following command and press enter:

loadlicense.cmd -DlicenseFile=<license_file_full_path> -DlicenseUsername=<first_user_acct> -DlicenseFullname=<first_user_name> 
-DlicensePassword=<first_user_passwd>

For example, to load a license file named "aPrioriLicense_20130501_acme.apz" located at
C:\aPriori, and your full name is "John Doe" with a username of johndoe with a password of 987XYZ!, the correct command is:

loadlicense.cmd –DlicenseFile=C:\aPriori\aPrioriLicense_20130501_acme.apz 
-DlicenseUsername=johndoe -DlicenseFullname=”John Doe”
-DlicensePassword=987XYZ!

Note: As usual with the Windows command line, don’t forget to enclose in double quotes any paths or arguments that include spaces.
