Generate a license for Data Archive collective upgrades

Prior to an upgrade, generate a new license file only if you are changing the hardware of your primary member's host machine, or if you have changed your licensing agreement with AVEVA.

1. Complete the software and/or hardware upgrade on the primary Data Archive member host machine. See Upgrade a Data Archive server.

2. Check the License Percent Match on the primary member to examine if the existing license file is still valid for the upgraded host machine.

   • If the license percent match is 100%, no further action is required for licensing.

   • If the license percent match is less than 100%, generate a new license file for the primary member. See Generate a license activation file for a standalone deployment.

3. Copy the license file (pilicense.dat) from the primary member onto each secondary Data Archive member host machine.
