6.2. Updating the License¶

You can use the vzlicupdate utility to update the license currently installed on the server. When executed, the utility tries to connect to the Key Authentication (KA) server, retrieve a new license, and install it on the server.

To update your license, do the following:

1. Make sure that the host where you wish to update the license is connected to the Internet.

2. Run vzlicupdate on the server (your server must have at least one public IPv4 address).

   By default, vzlicupdate tries to access the KA server at ka.virtuozzo.com. However, you can explicitly specify what KA server to use using the --server option, e.g., vzlicupdate --server ka.server.com.

# vzlicupdate -t -a <activation_code>
