Accessing the License Page

To access the license page, select Administration > License.

If you have a license installed, the license page indicates its status (for example, whether your license is currently valid) and displays the license details: the license owner, the license key, and the expiration date of the license, if there is one.

At the right side of the page a table shows the usage of licensed components based on the number of hosts with those products installed. You can move the cursor over the to see an explanation of each item.

License Expiration

Before a license expires, the Cloudera Manager Admin Console displays a message that indicates the number of days left on a license, starting at 60 days before expiration and counting down to 30, 14, and 0 days.

• Cloudera Enterprise Cloudera Enterprise Trial - Enterprise features are no longer available.
• Cloudera Enterprise - Cloudera Manager Admin Console displays a banner indicating license expiration. Contact Cloudera Support to receive an updated license. In the meanwhile, all enterprise features will continue to be available.

Trial Licenses

You can use a trial license only once; when the 60-day trial period expires or you have ended the trial, you cannot restart the trial. With the trial license, you can upgrade to a Cloudera Enterprise license or downgrade to an express license.

When a trial ends, enterprise features immediately become unavailable. However, data or configurations associated with the disabled functions are not deleted, and become available again once you install a Cloudera Enterprise license.

  Note: Trial licenses are not available for any of the Cloudera encryption products.

10. Click Test Connection to confirm that Cloudera Manager can communicate with the database using the information you have supplied. If the test succeeds in all cases, click Continue; otherwise, check and correct the information you have provided for the database and then try the test again. (For some servers, if you are using the embedded database, you will see a message saying the database will be created at a later step in the installation process.)

If the latter, type the database name, host, and user credentials that you specified when you created the database.
      Warning: Do not place DataNode data directories on NAS devices. When resizing an NAS, block replicas can be deleted, which will result in reports of missing blocks.
12. At this point, your installation is upgraded. Click Continue.

The audited services will write audit events to a log file, but the events are not transferred to the Cloudera Navigator Audit Server until you add and start the Cloudera Navigator Audit Server role as described in Adding Cloudera Navigator Roles.
