Installing the BI License Database

Nectari stores session and license information in the BI License database.

To set it up, launch the Nectari License Server.exe package.

1. Run the application Nectari License Server.exe and click on Next.
   
2. In the License Agreement screen, click on I accept the terms in the license agreement then on Next.
   
3. Select your Database Server, SQL Server or Oracle, then click Next.
   
4. Select a Location for the database files.
5. Tick the Server Defaults checkbox so the database server can load the files in its default location, OR click on Change... to choose the appropriate location and click on Next.
   
6. The Oracle installation will not require a path for the log files.
   Note

   If the installation fails with an error "Some files name listed could not be created" or such, run the package again and verify:

   • When the Server Defaults checkbox is ticked, it indicates that there are already BI License database files in the Server Default location that must be deleted.
   • Otherwise, the user account under which the database instance is running does not have the right to write into the desired path, change its permissions or choose a different location.
7. Enter the Administrator credentials of the database server (for more information about SQL Server, refer to SQL Server Authentication).

8. Click on Install.
   
9. Once the installation is done, click on Finish.
