Configuring On-Demand Entitlement

Manually install Faspex for use in Aspera on Demand need to use an On Demand entitlement.

Aspera highly recommends using pre-configured images available in Aspera-supported cloud providers for greater reliability and for ease of configuration. These instructions are for customers who are manually installing Faspex for use in Aspera on Demand need to use an On Demand entitlement.

Faspex entitlement requires that you have IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server installed on the same server as Faspex. Faspex uses the asperanoded service's license API for entitlement.

Note: Faspex uses the asctl command to configure entitlement. You must run asctl as the root user.

Turn On Entitlement

# setexport RAILS_ENV=production
# asctl faspex:rake entitlement:turn_safe_net_entitlement_mode_on

Turn Off Entitlement

# setexport RAILS_ENV=production
# asctl faspex:rake entitlement:turn_safe_net_entitlement_mode_off

Register Entitlement Key

# setexport RAILS_ENV=production
# asctl faspex:rake --trace entitlement:config_license_server EL_KEY="entitlement_key" EL_CUSTOMER_ID="id"

For example:

# asctl faspex:rake --trace entitlement:config_license_server EL_KEY="cd0904ae-f85a-4e3b-8ae0-615d79e5dea1" EL_CUSTOMER_ID="Test"

Note:

1) You must turn on entitlement before you can register the key.

2) The --trace option is not required, but it is helpful for debugging issues.
