---+ Apply License Files for Virtuoso Release 5.x and above, on Unix

   1 Use the <code>bash</code> or <code>sh</code> command to open a bash or Bourne shell.  (Other shells may be used, but vary widely, so any or all of the following steps may need adjustment.)%BR%%BR%
   1 Retrieve your new Virtuoso license file from email or [[ODSBriefcaseLicenseStorage][ODS briefcase]].%BR%%BR%
   1 Use binary-preserving methods (e.g., ftp in BIN mode) to transfer the new license to the Unix box, if required.%BR%%BR%
   1 Replace any existing Virtuoso license file with the new, or place the new license in your desired location.  We generally recommend this location be the <code>bin</code> sub-directory of the <nop>OpenLink installation, or <code>/etc/oplmgr/</code>.%BR%%BR%
   1 Navigate to the root of your Virtuoso installation, e.g.
<verbatim>
cd /opt/virtuoso
</verbatim>
   1 Check the <code>virtuoso-en*.sh</code> and <code>virtuoso-en*.csh</code> scripts, for their setting of the <code><nowiki>OPL_LICENSE_DIR</nowiki></code> environment variable.  If necessary, adjust this to include the directory holding the new license file.%BR%%BR%
   1 Execute these commands: 
<verbatim>
. ./virtuoso-en*.sh
cd bin
./oplmgr +stop
./oplmgr +start
</verbatim>
   1 Proceed to configure and/or use your Virtuoso installation.  The new license should now be active.
