Getting Started

Licensing TES

Before you can run TES, you need to run through the licensing procedure. This applies whether you are just trying out the software, or have already decided to implement TES.

Registering the license for TES is done from the Tidal Web client.

Note Before you start the licensing procedure, set the system queue to 0. Select Queues> System Queue, and set the value to 0. This will stop all jobs from launching. Wait until all running jobs have completed.

To license with a Full license:

Step 1 Stop the master. You must stop the master before you can load a license file. An error message will display if you attempt to load a license while the master is still running.

For Windows:

a. Click Start and select Programs > TIDAL Software > Scheduler > Master > Service Control Manager.

b. Verify that the master is displayed in the Service list and click the Stop button to stop the master.

For Unix:

Enter tesm stop.

Step 2 Rename your Full license file to master.lic.

Note If you are applying a demo license, name the file demo.lic.
Ensure that the file has a.lic extension.

Step 3 Place the file in the C:\Program File\TIDAL\Scheduler\Master\config directory.

Step 4 Restart the master:

    • For Windows, restart the master by clicking Start in the Service Control Manager.
    • For Unix, restart the master by entering tesm start.

The master will read and apply the demo code when it starts.
