Updating the software-based license server

To update the software-based license server, you need to return the existing license first. Then, run the installer from the root user ID, and enable the license server again.

Before you update the software-based license server, you need to return the existing license key. For the steps to return a software-based license key, see Returning a software-based license key.

To update the software-based license server, complete the following steps:
  1. Open the directory that contains the installer ZDT_Install_PS_V14.0.0.tgz.
  2. Change the authority.
    chmod 755 ZDT_Install_PS_V14.0.0.tgz
  3. Decompress the installer.
    tar -xzvf ZDT_Install_PS_V14.0.0.tgz
  4. Optional: Read the README.txt file for the complete installation steps.
  5. Run the installer.
    ./ZDT_Install_PS_V14.0.0.x86_64
  6. Select 1 for software-based license server.
  7. Select 2 to update.
  8. Press ENTER, and read the license agreements carefully. At the end of the license, enter yes to accept or no to decline the terms.
  9. After the update completes, run the following command to verify whether the update is successful.
    • RHEL operating system
      rpm -qa | grep aksusbd
rpm -qa | grep zpdtuim
    • UBUNTU operating system
      dpkg -l | grep aksusbd
dpkg -l | grep zpdtuim
Alternatively, after you complete steps 1 - 4, you can update the software-based license server silently by using the following command.
./ZDT_Install_PS_V14.0.0.x86_64 --update --zdtswlicense

After the software-based license server is updated, you need to enable the license server by running the steps that are described in Enabling the license servers.
