Step 3: Install licenses

If you are a new customer, your Pentaho Welcome Kit contained the necessary licenses. If you are an existing customer, the licenses are emailed. If you did not receive your welcome kit, did not receive the licenses, or are having any other problems, contact Pentaho Support. See the Administer Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics document for more information about required licenses and installation methods.

Perform the following steps to install the Pentaho licenses on your Linux environment.

1. Download the .lic files you want to install.

2. Navigate to the /license-installer/ directory where the Pentaho PDI tool is installed.

3. Copy your .lic  files to the /license-installer/  directory.

4. Run the install_license.sh  script with the install switch and the location and name of your .lic file as a parameter. You can specify multiple .lic files separated by spaces. Be sure to use backslashes (\) to escape any spaces in the path or file name.

    ./install_license.sh install Pentaho\ BI\ Platform\ Enterprise\ Edition.lic  

5. Repeat the previous step for all required licenses.
