Bladelogic Licensing App. Network Shell-autolic,getlic & putlic

Abhijit Kalaskar May 15, 2009 1:30 AM

There are scripts like autolic, putlic, getlic and makelic that are used on the network shell for generating licenses.

I am interested on knowing the information about these scripts

> are these licenses for servers only or can be generated for other apps.

> how they are implemented to the server.

> how does these scripts work

All of those NSH commands are used to license the RSCD agents. Those are the only parts of the BladeLogic infrastructure that need a license.

getlic pulls the information we need from the target and dumps it into a file. you can upload this file to our licensing site, generate a license and download the actual license file. putlic will put that license file on the target(s).

autolic does the above in one step (pulls info, talks to website and puts the license out)

these all work across multiple servers.

license info is here:

I can't find the bllic link, you need to send the bladelogic version, OS, Architecture and the HostId from the output of the agentinfo command for the appserver(s) to support. bllic has to go though an approval process so you may need to contact your bmc rep about this.
