Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud license file

To be able to use Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud, you need a valid license file, named collibra.license, that you have to upload in Collibra Console.

Your organization’s license file defines:

• The Collibra products and applications that your organization can use.
• The expiration date of the user licenses.
• The maximum number of users.

This license file also contains a signature string, to avoid tampering.

Maximum number of users per license type

The license file contains the maximum number of user licenses of each license type.

License violations

You can encounter the following license violations:

• Invalid or no license file: You have no license file or have tampered with it.
• Expired: Your license has passed the expiration date that was defined in the license file. When you are close to the expiration date of your license, every user with the Sysadmin role gets a notification message at the top of every page.

  Note   In Collibra Console, every user will see the license expiry message.

• Author user limit exceeded: Contact Collibra Support, at [email protected], for further assistance.
  Note   This does not prevent you from creating new users, or restrict Collibra in any other way. It is, however, a license violation, and may lead to legal action.

In case of license violations, all Collibra users get an error message at the top of every page. You can only remove the error by taking one or more of the following actions:

• Upload a new, suited license file.
• Disable users.
• Delete users.

If there is no license file, an invalid license, or an expired license, Collibra blocks all upgrades.
