Licenses¶
Running the KX Platform requires 2 license files.
| License | Descriptions |
|---|---|
| k4.lic | kdb+ License |
| .delta.lic | KX Platform License |
Then KX Platform runs on kdb+ and so requires a kdb+ license file (k4.lic/kc.lic). For more details on the kdb+ license, see code.kx
The KX Platform itself is licensed separately via the (.delta.lic) which enables certain features of the Platform.
Both license files can be requested via support@firstderivatives.com
Deploying License files¶
License files are required in order to deploy and run the KX Platform. Kdb+ and Platform Licenses are tied to either a hostname (e.g. host.firstderivatives.com) or a domain name (firstderivatives.com). The kdb+ license is typically restricted to a number of CPU cores.
- Linux license files are prompted for by the installer.
- Windows license files are manually copied into the config directory (
<deploy-dir>/delta-bin/config)
