Archiving license keys
As your QLM database grows, you may want to consider archiving some license keys that are no longer active. For example, trial keys that have expired are a prime candidate for archival.
When license keys are archived, they are moved from the primary license keys tab (LicenseKeys) to a history table (LicenseKeysHistory). After successful archival, the OrderStatus of an archived license is set to 'Archived'.
To archive license keys:
Launch the QLM Management Console
Go to the Manage Keys tab
Click Archive
To archive trials, check "Archive Expired Trials" and select the number of days since the license was expired.
To archive revoked licenses, check "Archive revoked licenses"
To restrict the scope of the above operations, set a date range for the Order Date.
Finally, to archive specific rows, select the rows in the grid and then check "Archive Selected Rows"
Click Test to view the number of affected records
If the number of records matches your expectations, click Archive.
It is recommended to perform a database backup before archiving large datasets.
Once licenses are archived, they can be selectively unarchived from the Unarchive button.
