Content Matrix 9.7 - Advanced Installation Guide

Activating the License Key

You will be prompted to input an Activation License Key when launching the Content Matrix Console:

·for the first time after it has been installed if an existing license is not detected

OR

·after your license has expired.

NOTE:  If users are not required to be a local administrators on the machine where Content Matrix is installed, every user who launches a Console needs to enter a license key.  If users are required to be a local administrator, only the first user who launches a Console needs to enter a license key.

 

IMPORTANT:  During installation, all Editions of the Console (SharePoint, eRoom, and Public Folder) are installed.  However, the license will only be activated for Editions that are covered by it.  If an Edition is not covered by the license, the message Invalid license:  License key is not valid for the given product. will display in the Activate License Key dialog.

If you are performing an online activation, you can also do it silently, using Powershell.

To enter a license key:

1.In the Activate License Key dialog, select I have a license key, and enter the license key provided by Quest (the key can be copied and pasted into the provided space).

ActivateLicenseKey

NOTE:  If you are updating from a Metalogix Content Matrix installation older than version 6, select the I am updating from an older version and have an old-style key option, and enter the key in the provided space (or paste into the first field from your clipboard).

2.Select the appropriate activation method.

NOTE: Most systems can use the Online activation method as long as the system has internet access. If you are unable to use the online activation method due to security settings or lack of internet access, the Offline activation option can be used.

Online Activation

Metalogix Content Matrix will contact the licensing server and attempt to authenticate the license key, after which, on successful activation, a 'Congratulations!' message will be returned, and the license key will be active and in use.

3.Click [Finish] to complete the process.

Offline Activation

NOTE:  The offline activation option is generally used in cases where you cannot use the online activation due to security settings or lack of internet access.

A Generate Activation Request dialog displays with a different key. This key can be copied from the window, or the Save to file option can be used to save the key into a text file (in case it needs to be copied to another machine).

Activating the License Key Silently

You can activate your Content Matrix license using PowerShell.  Follow the steps below.

NOTE:  This method can only be used for online activations.

1.Open the Content Matrix PowerShell Console.

2.Run the following cmdlet, which includes specifying the Content Matrix Console Edition for which you want to activate the license.

if (Get-Command Set-MetalogixJobPrerequisites -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue){ Set-MetalogixJobPrerequisites -Value "Content Matrix Console - <Edition_name>" }

 

NOTE:  Valid values for <Edition Name> are SharePoint Edition, eRoom Edition, Public Folder Edition.  If you license covers more than one Edition, it is only necessary to activate one.  The license activation will automatically be applied to any other Edition for which you are licensed.

3.Run the Set-MetalogixLicense cmdlet.  Note that additional parameters are required if a proxy server is used.

Without proxy server:

Set-MetalogixLicense -Key "<license_key>"
