Summary: Getting a license key and defining it in the space schema.

License Key File

When downloading GigaSpaces XAP from the GigaSpaces website the installation already has a bundled license key for a limited period of time, therefore for the evaluation period, there is no need to install any license key.

If you need to extend your license key or chnage it, please edit the <GigaSpaces Root>\gslicense.xml file and copy the license key provided to the <licensekey> tag value.

The license key file should be placed on each machine running a GSA/GSM/GSC.

The activation license key is in the following form:

"Nov 16, 2020~user@XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX#PREMIUM^7.0XAPPremium%UNBOUND+UNLIMITED"

To install the license, insert the license string between the license key tags:

<com>
  <j_spaces>
        <kernel>
          <licensekey>Nov 16, 2020~user@XXXXXXX#PREMIUM^7.0XAPPremium%UNBOUND+UNLIMITED</licensekey>
       </kernel>
  </j_spaces>
</com>

License File Search path

GigaSpaces search for the license using the following search path:

  1. JVM Classpath.
  2. Current directory
  3. com.gs.home system property.
  4. Using the com.gs.licensekey system property. Example:
    export EXT_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dcom.gs.licensekey=Nov 16, 2020~user@XXXXXXX#PREMIUM^7.0XAPPremium%UNBOUND+UNLIMITED
    ./gs-agent.sh &
