Preparing a target server for On Demand usage

OpenText On Demand is a licensing program that enables service providers the ability to offer OpenText Availability and OpenText Migrate products on a subscription basis. On Demand automates the process for activating and renewing subscription OpenText Availability and OpenText Migrate licenses and tracks pay-as-you-go usage. OpenText hosts and manages all of the On Demand components except the OpenText Availability and OpenText Migrate source and target. The service provider configures and maintains the target. Depending on the Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the service provider and their end user, the server provider or the end user may configure and maintain the source.

In order to use this program, the service provider must have a subscription license on each OpenText Availability and OpenText Migrate target. Use the following instructions to prepare a target server for subscription licensing. The instructions are dependent on your target server operating system.
