License Management Overview

License Management Overview

The Service Manager on the master gateway node manages Informatica licenses.
A license enables you to perform the following tasks:
  • Run application services, such as the Analyst Service, Data Integration Service, and PowerCenter Repository Service.
  • Use add-on options, such as partitioning for PowerCenter, grid, and high availability.
  • Access particular types of connections, such as Oracle, Teradata, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM MQ Series.
  • Use Metadata Exchange options, such as Metadata Exchange for Cognos and Metadata Exchange for Rational Rose.
When you install Informatica, the installation program creates a license object in the domain based on the license key that you used during installation.
You assign a license object to each application service to enable the service. For example, you must assign a license to the PowerCenter Integration Service before you can use the PowerCenter Integration Service to run a workflow.
You can create additional license objects in the domain. Based on your project requirements, you may need multiple license objects. For example, you may have two license objects, where each license object allows you to run services on a different operating system. You might also use multiple license objects to manage multiple projects in the same domain. One project may require access to particular database types, while the other project does not.
