Syntax
/etc/lmfsetup [ template ]
Description
The script allows you to register data supplied by a Product Authoriza‐
tion Key (PAK). The script prompts you for the data associated with
each of the fields on a PAK. When all the data has been entered, the
License Management Facility (LMF) ensures there are entries against all
the mandatory fields, and that the Checksum validates all the license
data. If the data has been entered correctly, the PAK is registered in
the License Database. If the data has been entered incorrectly, the
appropriate error message is displayed and you are given the opportu‐
nity to re-enter the data.
The template option allows you to register license data from templates
in A template containing a partially complete PAK is created by some
products as part of their installation process. The script only
prompts you for data on the fields that are empty in the template. If
the script cannot find the specified template in it searches the cur‐
rent directory.
The script is provided as an alternative to the command. This displays
a template, which includes the fields on the PAK, and invokes an editor
so that you can add the license data to the appropriate field. The
command also allows errors to be corrected without having to re-enter
all the data.
