### CloverETL Server Activation Alternatives

If, for any reason, you decide to not use the recommended way of installing the server license, you can choose one of the following options:

#### Activation Using license.file Property

1. Get the `license.dat` file.

2. Set the CloverETL Server `license.file` parameter to the path to `license.dat`. Set its value to full path to the `license.dat` file.

   See Chapter 9, List of Properties for list of properties.

3. Restart the application server.

#### Separate License WAR

Simple approach, but it may be used only for standalone server running on Apache Tomcat.

1. Download the `clover-license.war` web archive file.

2. Copy `clover-license.war` to the `[tomcat_home]/webapps` directory.

3. The war file should be detected and deployed automatically without restarting Tomcat.

4. Check whether the license web-app is running on:

   `http://[host]:[port]/clover-license/` (Note: `clover-license` contextPath is mandatory and cannot by changed)
