CAEPE

License management

This guide shows you how to switch CAEPE between online and offline mode, and how to get an offline license. You can access license management from the CAEPE Management > License Management menu item.

CAEPE supports two application types:

  • Online: CAEPE connects to the CAEPE portal to check your subscription. This is the default.
  • Offline/Intermittent: CAEPE runs without a constant internet connection, for example in an air-gapped or edge environment. You keep the license up to date by exchanging files with the CAEPE portal.

Viewing license information

The Switch App Type section shows the application name and its current application type.

The License Information section shows the details of the license in use. If you have not uploaded an offline license, it shows "No license information available yet".

Switch the application type

  1. From the Change License Type list, select Online or Offline/Intermittent.
  2. Click Save Changes.

When you select Offline/Intermittent, the Manual Exchange section appears.

Get an offline license

Running offline is a file exchange between your CAEPE application and the CAEPE portal:

  1. Download the subscription information file from your CAEPE application.
  2. Upload it to the CAEPE portal and download an offline license.
  3. Upload the offline license to your CAEPE application.

Step 1: Download the subscription information file

In the Manual Exchange section of the License Management page, click Download the Subscription Info File.

Step 2: Get the offline license from the CAEPE portal

On a machine with internet access, log in to the CAEPE portal and open CAEPE Management > License Exchange.

The page lists your CAEPE instances. Each entry shows the instance name, type, created date and time, when the license was last exchanged, and when the subscription is due.

  1. Click the Actions button next to the instance and select Upload Subscription Details.
  2. Drop or select the subscription information file from step 1.
  3. Click Upload the File & Continue.
  4. Click View next to the instance to open its details page, then click Download Offline License.

You can also upload the subscription information file from the Upload Subscription Details panel on the details page.

Step 3: Upload the offline license

Back in your CAEPE application, on the License Management page:

  1. In the Upload Offline License panel, drop or select the offline license file.
  2. Click Upload the File.

The License Information section shows the details of the new license.

Tip

Repeat these steps before your subscription due date to keep your offline license up to date.

From the License Exchange page in the CAEPE portal you can also:

  • Rename an instance: click Actions > Edit CAEPE Instance Name, or click Edit App Name on the details page.
  • Delete an instance: click the wastebasket icon, or click Delete on the details page.
