Converting License to Base64 String

To install a license, you must provide the content of the license file as a Base64 string. To obtain a Base64 string, perform the following steps:

Get the content of the license file.
Convert the license to a Base64 string.

To do this, you can use the following PowerShell cmdlets:

$license = get-content '<path_to_license>' -Encoding Byte

[System.Convert]::ToBase64String($license) | Out-File '<path_to_file>'

where:

<path_to_license> — path to the license file that you want to convert to a Base64 string.
<path_to_file> — path to a file that that will contain the resulting Base64 string. You will be able to copy the Base64 string from the file and provide the string in the body of the POST https://<hostname>:4443/v6/License/Install request.

For example:

$license = get-content 'C:\license.lic' -Encoding Byte

[System.Convert]::ToBase64String($license) | Out-File 'C:\base64.txt'
