Purpose

This how-to will walk you through the process of installing / activating an InterWorx-CP license key on your InterWorx-CP server.

Run the goiworx.pex script

 root@server# cd /usr/local/interworx/bin
 root@server# ./goiworx.pex

Enter your license key when prompted

  +----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  Please enter license key: INTERWORX_XXXXXXXXXX
  You entered 'INTERWORX_XXXXXXXXXX'.

Setup the main NodeWorx user. This will be the administrator account for the InterWorx-CP installation

  |                     Default NodeWorx User Setup                      |
  +----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  e-mail address: admin@yourbox.com

  password: your-password
  confirm : your-password

Once the goiworx scripts ends login to NodeWorx by going to https://<your ip>:2443/nodeworx/ using the e-mail address and password you setup in the previous step.

You should NEVER rerun goiworx.pex on a server unless it’s been completely reinstalled from scratch (the OS not just InterWorx); as this script not only installs the key but also creates the database. Rerunning it would completely destoy your existing InterWorx data and cause many problems, and so the system is designed prevent this.

Troubleshooting

If you get any license activation errors be sure that your server time is correct
If you are moving a license from one server to another you’ll need to reset the IP of your license or open a support ticket and ask us to do it for you
Make sure that license.interworx.com is resolvable and pingable from your server
Verify that port 2443 is open both out and inbound to the server
