Licensing

The Platform Analytics license file includes licenses for data collection (data volume audit for Vertica.)

Contact Platform Computing to obtain a license for Platform Analytics. You may purchase and enable the following components for your Platform Analytics installation to be included in the Platform Analytics license file:

Analytics base

This is a must have license for Platform Analytics. This license allows you to collect data from LSF clusters.

LSF advanced data collection

This license allows you to collect LSF advanced data from LSF clusters. LSF advanced data is cluster performance and operation data that is not gathered in the base PERF package included with LSF.

License data collection

This license allows you to collect license usage and event data from your FLEXnet servers.

Vertica database connector

This license allows you to monitor data volume for Vertica only.

If you have a demo license and obtained a production license, you need to replace the old demo license file in the node (PERF_CONFDIR/license.dat) and the server (PA_SERVER_ROOT/conf/license.dat) with the new demo license file. Make sure that the replaced file name is license.dat.
