Enterprise Licenses in 2sxc

Most licenses are system bound. This means that the system generates a fingerprint, and the license is then activated for that specific system. You can read more about it in licenses.

Enterprise Licenses are hear for scenarios where you must license many system with a special agreement with 2sxc. Common examples are:

Hosters who wish to activate certain optimizations on all the systems they host
Features sponsors who "own" a feature and get to use it on all the systems they have
Enterprise customers with web-farms who have more complicated setups - eg. where the DB name changes, resulting in different fingerprints

How it Works

Enterprise licenses consist of two files:

An Identity containing a fingerprint which is stored in a special data file
A License file which is stored just like any other license

Both files are stored at the system level in a folder which is preserved through upgrades. The location is:

On Dnn this is: [WebRoot]/DesktopModules/ToSIC_SexyContent/App_Data/system-custom/
On Oqtane this is [WebRoot]/Content/2sxc/system/App_Data/system-custom/

Within this folder, there are two sub-folders:

entities - which contains the Identity file
configurations - which contains the License file

A typical setup will look like this:

[...]/App_Data/system-custom/
- entities/
  - 12345678-abcd-abcd-abcd-1234567890ab.Company-Name.json
- configurations/
  - Company-Name.license.json

At startup, these files are loaded and security checks are performed, then the licenses are activated.

License Deployment

You will receive the files from 2sxc.

Manual One-Time License Deployment

You can upload them manually to the system. Just make sure the files are really in that location.

Automated License Deployment

Please use one of the following options:

Include the files in your Dnn / Oqtane template
Create a module for Dnn / Oqtane with these files
Create PowerShell scripts to deploy the files
