Reading the License File

You may need to retrieve the content from the mz.license file in text. To do so, run the following command:

cat mz.license

Below are some important information in the license file

<license name="<CUSTOMER-NAME>_<ProductVersion>_<LicenseType>" product="mz">
    <criteria attribute="database.type" value="multi"/>
    <criteria attribute="expiration.date" value="2030-01-01 23:59"/>
    <criteria attribute="license.type" value="PROD"/>
    <criteria attribute="multi.host.enabled" value="true"/>
    <criteria attribute="customer.name" value="Acme Corp"/>
    <licenseditem identity="pf:mz.ultra.avro"/>
    <licenseditem identity="pf:mz.decoder_avro"/>
...

Line 1 - license name consists of the customer name, product version and license type.
Line 3 - expiration.date is the date of license expiration.
Line 4 - license.type has either PROD or DEMO as the value.

A system with the DEMO license type will stop running when the license expiration date is reached.
A system with the PROD license type will continue running when the license expiration date is reached. There will be license violation messages in the System Logs.
The license file will be checked during platform start up and at least once per day to determine the validity of the current license.

Line 7 and beyond

licenseditem is the licensed items included in the product license.
