When initially installed, the TapeTrack Framework Server will allow up to 100 tape volumes using a free license. To add more than 100 volumes or operate with more than 100 volumes you will need upgrade your TapeTrack license from the free license key to either a temporary license, 90 day trial license or permanent license key.

A temporary license key will allow you to operate the TapeTrack Software without restriction, but this mode of licensing is reserved for those evaluating the TapeTrack Software or those needing a license in an emergency situation. Temporary licenses are restricted to less than two weeks.

To obtain a temporary license:

To Upgrade your free license to a full evaluation license:

1. Open TapeTrack TapeMaster and login with the user name tapemaster (case sensitive) and leave password blank (or use your password if it has been changed).

2. From the menu click Help → Framework Server Licensing

In the TapeTrack License window change the default values to your preferred details:

3. Change Owner from ACME Corp to your company name (e.g. GazillaByte)

4. Change description value to something more relevant (e.g. Production)

5. Set Expiry Date to new expiry (e.g. 90 days from today)

6. Change Volumes, under License Limits to desired number (0 = unlimited)

Click Apply license changes and Export license to a file to export updated license file to a known name (e.g. LicenseExport.cfg) and location.

Check the information in the config file (LicenseExport.cfg) by opening in Notepad or similar text editor and check all information has been updated and is correct. If it is not correct, delete file and repeat steps 3 to 6.
