Updating the Entitlement Key Using the Terminal

If your license of APOD/SOD does not include access to Console or Shares, you must install a valid entitlement key using the Terminal. If your license includes Console or Shares, enter your entitlement key through the web UI. For more information, see Updating the Entitlement Key.

SSH into your instance. For more information, see Using SSH to Access APOD/SOD.
Make sure there are no firewall ports open taht are blocking outbound TCP 443.
Run the ALEE (Aspera License Entitlement Engine) command to register your entitlement key information.
```
# /opt/aspera/bin/alee-admin register username entitlement_key
```
For example:
```
# /opt/aspera/bin/alee-admin register ec2-user d18bb7ba-7fac-409d-9200-e2cbaf246d5c
```
Validate the entitlement key.
```
# ascp -A
```

Important: Aspera On Demand uses the asperalee service to manage the entitlement key and the trapd service to access supported object storage. Both services are enabled by default. If you need to restart these service, use the following commands:

# service asperalee restart
# service asperatrpd restart

Do not use the asalee-config.sh enable or disable commands to restart these services. These commands are only used to enable or disable the features:

# /opt/aspera/bin/asalee-config.sh <enable/disable>
# /opt/aspera/bin/astrap-config.sh <enable/disable>

These commands recreate the symlink in /etc/init.d in CentOS 7 machines, resulting in a systemd bug.
