Applies to:
QLM Pro and QLM Enterprise.
QLM: 8.0 or higher.
When specifying the expiry date criteria of a license, you can configure two settings:
- Expires <x> days after install
- Expires on <date>
If you configure both settings, the license will expire when either setting's criterion is met.
If you configure a duration based expiry and select to expire the license x days after install, the actual expiry date is controlled by two server properties:
| useDurationToSetExpiryDate | When creating an Activation Key with an expiry duration, the QLM License Server converts the specified duration to a specific expiry date based on the current date. The SubscriptionExpiryDate field will be set to this expiry date. |
|
useDurationToSetExpiryDateWhenActivating |
When activating a duration based license, the QLM License Server can convert the specified duration to a specific expiry date based on the time of activation. The SubscriptionExpiryDate field will be set to this expiry date. |
If both server properties are unchecked, no specific expiry date will be set. The license expiry date will be based on the first time a license is validated on a user's machine. This setting is not recommended as it is less secure.
