Issue/Introduction

Description:

On Unix/Linux environments the lic98 install has steps:

• gunzip lic98.tar.gz
  
  
• untar lic98.tar
  
  
• execute ./install

There is no log or checkpoint that would confirm successful installation, so other relevant information will have to be reviewed.

Solution:

We could check the following things:

1. The first thing we want to ensure is there was no error displayed during installation.
   
   
   1. After installation, we could check the install directory for example /opt/CA/SharedComponents/ca_lic
      
      
   2. Ensure lic98.dat is present there which keeps the demo license information.
      
      
2. Also try to execute several executable just to ensure relevant utility binaries are ok:
   
   liclog -l [show license activity, it may have minimal license including machine info]
   CAmtype [shows machine info]
   lic98version [shows lic98 version]
   
   
3. After all server component are installed, if the broker starts fine then it means lic98 is installed fine.

NOTE: In this document we are assuming it is fresh install and using demo license.
