Extend Evaluation Period for Java Client

Note

This feature is only available in NCache Enterprise Edition.

When you install NCache Java Client on your system, it is installed as an “Evaluation Copy” by default. You can use this evaluation copy for 60 days after which it expires and NCache Java Client stops working.

When NCache Java Client expires, it is time for you to either purchase NCache Java Client licenses or if you need an extension to your evaluation period, you can obtain an “Extension Key” from Alachisoft Sales. Please send an email to sales@alachisoft.com (or to your account manager if you are in touch with him/her already) and ask for an extension key. You are provided with a 30-day extension key.

Once you have obtained the extension key, please follow the steps given below to extend your evaluation period:

Note

You can extend your trial version only 4 times; after that you will have to purchace NCache Java Client licenses in order to use NCache Java Client.

In the UNIX terminal of your server machine, go to the location where you have installed NCache Java Client.
Navigate to the bin\activation folder to access the extend-evaluation-cmd tool:

[root@servername]#cd ~/%NCHOME%/bin/activation

Run the extend-evaluation-cmd tool through the following command:

[root@servername]# ./extend-evaluation-cmd –e evaluation-key

You will see the following output message on successful extension of your evaluation period: NCache Java Client Evaluation period has been extended.
