If your deployment site can access the web-based Teradata EMS server, licensing information is passed between your site and the server over the Internet automatically. If your site cannot access the Internet, use this procedure to convey licensing information between the two locations manually.
Some steps require a device with Internet access, as well as access to the Teradata EMS server.
  1. Open a VMware vSphere PowerCLI shell version 5.5 or later.
  2. Type the following command from the PowerCLI prompt to connect to the vCenter that manages the ESXi hosts that are running the Teradata Database VMs:
    connect-VIServer -server vCenter.server.name
  3. Navigate to the directory containing the Teradata Database on VMware deployment executable file (C:\mylocation\Teradata_Deployer\).
  4. Run tdc.deploy.exe, using the properties files originally used to deploy the VMs.
  5. At the prompt, type revoke_license, and press Enter.
    1. Select the Common Properties file, and press Enter.
    2. Select the Node Properties file, and press Enter.
  6. When prompted, enter the root password for the target system, and type Y at the following prompt.
