# License Server

Oz Forensics provides flexible licensing rules for all products. To support licensing for servers without an Internet connection, you need to install an offline license server.

## How to Install an Offline Licensing Server

You can install the software on any Linux-based non-virtual server. [Contact us](Mailto:Info@ozforensics.com) to get the files needed and follow the steps below.

### 1. Unpack the Software

```bash
mkdir /opt/oz
cd /opt/oz
tar xzf oz-lic.tar.gz
```

### 2. Install the License Service

```
./LexFloatServer -p product.dat -c config.yml -i --service-name ozlic
```

The installation is complete. For the next steps, use the Web interface on port `8090`.

### 3. Activate the License

Open the default page in your Web browser `http://server:8090` and authorize with your login and password.

#### Online activation

The easiest way to activate the license server is via the Internet. Enter the license key and click `ACTIVATE`.

#### Offline activation

If your server isn't connected to the Internet, use the offline activation option. Click the `SWITCH TO OFFLINE ACTIVATION` link.

Click`DOWNLOAD REQUEST FILE`.

You'll get the `offline_activation_request.txt` file. Send it to [us](mailto:Info@ozforensics.com) to receive the activation code.

Enter the activation code in the offline activation response window and hit `ACTIVATE`.

## Activate modules

### Oz Api Lite

Add an extra command line parameter with the `LICENSE_KEY` environment variable with license server host address and port.

```bash
docker run -e LICENSE_KEY="http://ip-address:8090" ...
```

### Oz Bio

Create the `license.key` file with the content of license host and IP and bind this file to your container:

```bash
echo "http://ip-address:8090" > license.key
docker run -v `pwd`/license.key:/license.key ...
```
