How Do I Update My Argent Queue Engine License?

Argent Queue Engines can be installed on multiple platform types:

   * Windows

   * Linux/Unix

   * iSeries

Special “Enterprise” Queue Engine Keys

For “Enterprise Argent Queue Engine keys”, an extra QE_KEY.BIN file is provided along with a single serial key which can be applied across all Argent Queue Engines

The QE_KEY.BIN file needs to be copied and placed in the root folder of each Argent Queue Engine, e.g. C:\Argent\QueueEngine

Additionally, the single license key needs to be applied to each Queue Engine by following the steps further on in this article

Windows

  1. Copy the license key — the key consists of 16 alphanumeric characters, separated by hyphens.

    Example:

    OC80-ME66-DK34-KR17

  2. Launch the Argent Queue Engine GUI. Goto the System menu, and select Connect to a Server.

For customers with the Argent Job Scheduler GUI, the license keys can be applied directly after successfully connecting to the iSeries Queue Engine, by right-clicking on the Queue Engine and choosing the option to enter a new license key

Alternatively, the Queue Engine license key can be applied directly on the Queue Engine as follows

qsystem -D AAAA-1111-BBBB-2222

iSeries

For customers with the Argent Job Scheduler GUI, the license keys can be applied directly after successfully connecting to the iSeries Queue Engine, by right-clicking on the Queue Engine and choosing the option to enter a new license key

Alternatively, the Queue Engine license key can be applied directly on the Queue Engine as follows

Firstly, ensure your iSeries session has the ARGSCHED library added, using:

ADDLIBLE ARGSCHED

For DEMO purposes, the iSeries Queue Engine license key can be applied after installation using:

CFGARGJSA LICKEY(‘DEMO’)

For customers with a valid license key, the license key can be applied using:

CFGARGJSA LICKEY(‘AAAA-1111-BBBB-2222’)

Customers can also input the license key interactively by typing in CFGARGJSA and pressing F4 to bring up an interactive form — the license key (LICKEY) field is typically on the next page of the form, requiring a “Page Down”
