How to find the license file for the Community Edition !

Ammar

Hi,

 

I am using Vertica community edition. However, when I tried to create a database I got an error:

 

Info: no password specified, using none
Error: a database license has not been installed.
You must supply a valid license using the -l (--license) option.

 

 

Kindly note that I cannot use a GUI. I need to fix this problem using command line.

 

I appreciate your prompt response.

 

Thanks,

have u open admintools ? because it should asked for license agreement with first time and you should accept that then only you can create the database.

 

/opt/Vertica/bin/admintools.sh

[root]# su - dbadmin -> login as dbadmin user

[dbadmin]#admintools -> run admintools

Choose Accept License in the window opened

no need Access for GUI, all can be done from command line, what do you see when you just run "admintools" via dbadmin user ?

try installing dialog (yum install dialog) if you can not see admintools screen,

Hi
As a part of the create_db command line ,you need to add the -l with a value of ce

Eg. -l ce

This will creare db with community lincensing.

Thanks
