Switching from subscription mode to an offline demo license

When you deploy a DataMiner Agent using the DataMiner Installer v10.4 or by using a pre-installed VHD, your system will automatically be licensed with a Community Edition license and run in subscription mode. A DataMiner Agent running in subscription mode has to remain connected to dataminer.services to keep it licensed. If for some reason you cannot keep your Agent connected to dataminer.services, it will automatically shut down after 1 month.

If after this period you want to extend the usage of the system, you can convert your subscription installation to an offline demo installation:

1. Stop the DMA using the DataMiner Taskbar Utility.

2. Open the C:\Skyline DataMiner\ folder.

3. Remove all *.lic files, if any.

4. Start the DMA using the DataMiner Taskbar Utility.

5. After a short while, a Request.lic file should appear in the C:\Skyline DataMiner\ folder.

6. Contact dataminer.licensing@skyline.be and provide them with the Request.lic file.

   In your email, mention that it concerns a conversion from a subscription to a demo license.

7. Wait until you receive a Response.lic file from Skyline.

8. When you have the Response.lic file, copy it to the C:\Skyline DataMiner\ folder.

9. Restart the DMA using the DataMiner Taskbar Utility.
