Updating the License

In Parallels Cloud Server, you can use the pstorage update-license command to update the license currently installed on your server. When executed, the utility connects to the Parallels Key Authentication (KA) server, retrieves a new license, downloads it to the server, and installs it there.

To update a license, do the following:

1. Make sure that the server where you want to update the license is connected to the Internet.
2. Run the pstorage update-license command to update the license.

For example, to update a license installed in the pcs1 cluster, execute this command:

# pstorage -c pcs1 update-license

By default, pstorage obtains a new license from the default KA server. However, you can explicitly specify what KA server to use by passing the --server option to the command:

# pstorage -c pcs1 update-license --server ka.server.com

Once you run the command, pstorage will connect to the KA server with the hostname of ka.server.com , download a new license, and install it on your server.
