YAMBAS requires a license key or file for successfull startup. Each installation comes with an evaluation license which allows one application to be used in ApiOmat . To obtain your correct license, you have to provide the follwing information to ApiOmat :

Company name
First name
Last name
eMail
Hardware ID
Internet access from system?

Hardware ID

Hardware ID is displayed during the installation tool in web browser. Example: 3e91c3b5d-7ff6-30fc-dbf8-12d811ffeb7f

If you missed to copy the value, just open the tomcat logs at /var/tomcat/logs/catalina.out or C:\tomcat7\logs\catalina.out and search for the following lines:

Jan 14:00:27.14  [localhost-startStop-1] INFO   LicenseHelper        [] - Using internal pubkey.conf from .war file
Jan 14:00:27.21  [localhost-startStop-1] INFO   LicenseHelper        [] - Hardware ID: 2e81c3a5d-7ff6-30fc-aef8-12d828ffeb7b
Jan 14:00:27.102 [localhost-startStop-1] INFO   LicenseHelper        [] - Read license text from file: com.license4j.License@451cb682

Based on the decision, if the system is a productive or testing one, you will get a license text file or a license key.

License text file

A license text file works like a certificate and is delivered as a file. It works completely offline and should be used on systems without direct internet access. Copy the file to the same directory like yambas.conf and edit apiomat.yaml like this:

apiomat.yaml

yambas:
  license:
    file  :/full/path/to/license.text
..

Changes in the license requires a new license file to be created, installed and applied after tomcat restart.

License key

The license key requires online access and can be updated from ApiOmat , e.g. for license extensions. A key may look like

AU7UH-2HR7H-AAYZ5-NBARW-ICWQU

and must be placed directly in the apiomat.yaml file:

apiomat.yaml

yambas:
  license:
    key  : AU7UH-2HR7H-AAYZ5-NBARW-ICWQU
..

Changes in the license can be done online and are applied after tomcat restarts.
