Importing a license to the local license database

The local license database is available under the platform’s My File System. You can use this procedure to add and update licenses in a license archive or the equivalent import command from the platform License Manager (or similar License Platform Service Plugin).

You are working in Workbench and are connected to a Supervisor platform.
  1. Expand My File System > Sys Home > security and double-click licenses.
    The Directory List displays the licenses in the local license database.
  2. To import a license from this database, click Tools > Local License Database
    The Workbench License Manager opens.
  3. Click Import File
    This button in the Workbench License Manager is always enabled, and opens the Import License window for you to navigate to a source file (.license or .lar). Only two types of files appear for selection.


  4. To add to (or update in) your local license database, select a license file and click OK.
    A popup window confirms success, and the license(s) are added or updated in your database.

    If any of the license(s) you select to import are older than the ones currently in your local database, meaning that the generated attribute timestamp is earlier, newer license(s) in your local license database are not overwritten. However, the same import successful message popup appears for such file import operations.
