Installing a Commercial License
Unless you use an evaluation version of Mule, you need to install a commercial license in Mule to use Mule ESB.
If you cluster Mule instances, the license you install must enable clustering. The commands you use to install, uninstall, or verify a license that enables clustering are the same as those for a license that does not enable clustering.
To install your commercial license in Mule (and automatically replace the evaluation license), please run the following command from your $MULE_HOME/bin directory:
mule -installLicense ~/license.lic
| The original license.lic file should automatically be removed from the system once you complete this step. Remove an old license manually by deleting $MULE_HOME/conf/muleLicenseKey.lic prior to starting the license installation. |
If you are installing your license on multiple platforms, be sure to back up the license.lic file in another location before running this command.
Here is what the command line/shell output will look like:
mule -installLicense ~/license.lic
Usage: ./mule { console | start | stop | restart | status | dump }
No command specified, running in console (foreground) mode by default, use Ctrl-C to exit...
