SQL Safe provides you with CLI commands to help you manually register a backup agent license.
To perform License operations use the following command:
- SQLsafeCmd License <sql_server> <license_key> [options]
Where:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| <sql_server> | The full name of the SQL server instance to license. E.g. HOSTNAME\INSTANCE |
| <license_key> | The license key. |
And the [options] are:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-ForceLocal | Forces the installation of a license to the local machine, although <sql_server> might refer to another machine. Note: it is necessary in clustered environments where a clustered SQL Server instance name differs from the physical node hosting it. |
For detailed descriptions and available options, see the CLI Help (SQLsafeCmd help License).
