A valid license.xml file must be installed in a directory accessible to the Ingres installation. The installation procedure will prompt for this directory.

Only one valid license.xml needs to be installed on a given host. All installations on that host can point to the same license.xml if the license is valid for the version of Ingres installed.

To generate a license key, use the Ingres license generator page accessible through the Actian Customer Portal (https://support.actian.com/).
