nstalling the License
Depending on the way you have obtained your Parallels Cloud Server license, the process of
installing the license slightly differs:
• If you have obtained the license in the form of a product key, you can install it on the server
using the -p option of the vzlicload command. For example, you can execute the following
command to install the XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX product key:
# vzlicload -p XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX
Note: You can also use the vzlicload utility to upgrade the license. For example, this may be
necessary if your current license does not support using Parallels Virtual Automation for managing
Parallels servers.
• If you have obtained the license in the form of an activation code, you can install it on the server
using the -a option of the vzlicupdate command. For example:
# vzlicupdate -a XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX
where XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX is your activation code. When executed,
vzlicupdate connects to the Parallels Key Authentication (KA) licensing server and transmits
the specified activation code there. The licensing server, in turn, generates a license file, sends it
back to the server from where the activation code has been dispatched, and automatically
installs it on this server. So, before executing the aforementioned command, make sure that
your Parallels server is connected to the Internet.
If you are activating your installation by means of an activation key, you must have an active Internet
connection to successfully complete the license installation. Otherwise, you will be presented with
the corresponding warning message informing you of the steps you have to take to activate your
license. As a rule, these steps are the following:
1 Visiting the http://www.parallels.com/en/support/virtuozzo/activate web page and activating the
license manually.
2 Providing the following information on this web page:
• In the Product Code field, specify your license activation code.
• In the HWID field, provide the ID of your server.
• In the Enter following digits field, type the digits displayed next to this field.
3 Clicking the ACTIVATE LICENSE button.
If you have entered the correct information on the Virtuozzo License Activation page, you will be
provided with a link to a license file that you should download to and install on the server. For
example, you can run this command to install the obtained license file
# vzlicload -f /etc/vzlicense
This command will install the license file with the name of vzlicense on your server.
