Applying a licence key using the command line on Linux

You must apply a licence key to your WPS Analytics installation before you can invoke SAS language programs. On Linux distributions, the licence key is applied using a command line terminal.

If you don't have a WPS Analytics licence, see Obtaining a WPS Analytics licence.

You require administrative privileges to apply a WPS Analytics licence key.

To apply the licence key:

1. Change directory (cd) to the installation location, for example: cd /opt/worldprogramming/bin
   • Where worldprogramming is the installation directory of your WPS Analytics installation.
2. Save your WPS Analytics licence in this directory. If you have saved the file to a different location, you can copy it to this directory using the cp command, for example: sudo cp keydirectory/keyfile.wpskey keyfile.wpskey
   • Where keydirectory is the directory to where the licence key is saved and keyfile is the name of your licence key file.
3. Apply your licence key using the following command: sudo ./wps -stdio -setinit < keyfile.wpskey

WPS Analytics can now be invoked from the command line or Workbench.
