Updating a perpetual license from the GUI

Update your perpetual license from the GUI.

Note: For MacOS, you might get a permission error when using the UI due to nonsudo permissions. If so, install your license from the command line. See Updating a perpetual license.
  1. Start HSTS.
    Go to Finder > Applications > IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server
  2. Click Tools > License to open the license window.
  3. Update the license file:
    • Either by clicking Import License File and selecting the license file
    • Or by using Paste License Text to paste the contents of the new license file
  4. To confirm that the new license information was updated correctly, run ascp -A to display the current license information.
    $ ascp -A
  5. If you are using the Node API, reload asperanoded.
