Under certain circumstances, license orders or changes can be linked to a WIBU container, e.g. an extension of EUP dates. License entries from these orders are referred to as Auto-updates and are always executed in the update process regardless of the WIBU action or the selected ticket. ibaManagementStudio marks such license entries with the tag [Auto-Update].

Prerequisites

  • Auto-updates are available.

  • For the system on which you want to perform the license update, the permission for remote actions is enabled, see Editing systems.

  • On the system on which you want to perform the license update, the ibaManagementStudio Agent (v2.0.0 or higher) is running and a connection to the ibaManagementStudio server is established.

  • You are using ibaManagementStudio Server v2.0.0 or higher.

  • You also need the "Edit" permission for the respective system in the ibaManagementStudio user management.

  • There is a connection to the iba Gateway for WIBU licenses.

  • The terms of use for internet access have been accepted and an internet connection is established.
Running Auto-updates without further license update

  1. Select a system under Systems in the main menu and open the License information tab.

  2. In the list, click on the <Update> button in the line of a WIBU license.

    Confirm the warning if you want to continue with the license update despite possible status changes.

    A dialog window with the associated tickets of previous updates opens. Auto-updates are also displayed here.

  3. Select <Run Auto-Update>.

  4. Click on <Auto-Update> to update the displayed Auto-updates.

    The dialog shows the update progress.
Running auto-updates automatically

You can set ibaManagementStudio to run the Auto-updates automatically without any interaction on your part. ibaManagementStudio then checks every 24 hours whether Auto-updates are available and runs them on all connected systems.

This function is deactivated by default.

  1. Open Settings – Server configuration in the main menu.

  2. Click on the field Automatically run available upgrades for WIBU licenses to activate or deactivate it.

    ibaManagementStudio checks every 24 hours whether Auto-updates are available and runs them on all connected systems.
