The installer runs the

infacmd

AddLicense command to read the Informatica license key file and create a license object in the domain. To run the application services in Informatica Administrator, a valid license object must exist in the domain.

If you use an incremental license and join a domain, the serial number of the incremental license must match the serial number for an existing license object in the domain. If the serial numbers do not match, the AddLicense command fails.

You can get more information about the contents of the license key file used for installation, including serial number, version, expiration date, operating systems, and connectivity options in the installation debug log. You can get more information about existing licenses for the domain in Informatica Administrator.
