8.4.1 Request the Cloud Account ID License File

To get the Cloud Account ID License File, follow the steps:

1. Get the x_cpu.exe executable from the specified LANSA version.
2. Copy it to a Virtual Machine (VM) in the Cloud Account.
3. Generate the Hardware Definition File for each Cloud account ID and region (location) that you require to be licensed.
4. The LANSA Sales Contact generates the Cloud Account ID License File(s) and sends them to you.
5. Then, you can install the Cloud Account ID License File(s) in a Cloud image or Cloud VM.

Generating the Hardware Definition File

Follow the steps to generate the Hardware Definition File:

1. Copy the file x_cpu.exe from the Tools directory of a LANSA system at the supported level specified above to a VM in your Cloud.
2. Set the type of Cloud to AWS or Azure in this registry entry.

• For AWS run: X_cpu -cAWS
• For Azure run: X_cpu -cAZR

Example

For example, for the AWS Account ID 775488040364, do the following:

1. Open a command window.
2. Change to the directory where you have copied x_cpu.exe to.
3. Run: X_cpu -cAWS.
4. A file will be created named something like x_cpu_aws_775488040364-us-east-1.txt.
5. Click on “Yes” and copy the file.



6. Repeat these steps for each VM in each region that you require your LANSA application to be running in.
7. Send this/these file(s) to LANSA Licensing requesting the required license types, e.g., LXX, NET, WEB.

Note:

• A file name example for Azure is x_cpu_AZR_739c4e86-bd75-4910-8d6e-d7eb23ab94f3-ae.txt.
• The x_cpu.exe needs to be run for each account/region combination, and all license files sent to LANSA Licensing.
• Send the Hardware Definition File(s) to your LANSA Sales Contact.
