Renewal of the license

After installing the on-premise version, copy your public RSA key to BioID BWS Portal (Cloud). You will receive the first protection key and activate the on-premises license.

To renew the license, you must export/import the signed usage report. Once this has been uploaded, you can request a new protection key. After the protection key has been imported into your on-premises version, the license will be renewed automatically.

Automatic license renewal

You can use our sample script to upload your signed usage report and import the new protection key. This works fully automatically when you run the script.

Manual license renewal

If you want to carry out the process manually, you can click on the 'Get Signed Usage Report' button in your BWS portal under Settings → Management. The usage report is then copied to the clipboard.

Then go to the BioID BWS Portal (Cloud) and upload the usage report to your client (on-prem installation) using the 'Upload usage report of your on-prem installation' button.

Then click on the 'Update client' button. The dialog now contains the new protection key. Copy this key by clicking on the 'Copy protection key' button. Now import the new Protection key into your BWSPortal-OnPrem Settings → Management by clicking on the 'Paste protection key' button. The expiry date should now have been extended.
