Determining the jasperserver.license information

[vishworks]

Hi,

      We currently use JasperReports 3.6 in one of our applications and there is a requirement to programmatically determine the license expiration information and alert the operations team about expiration of the license and subsequently initiate the necessary steps to procure a new license (preferably a month in advance).

We have the license file available as jasperserver.license as specified in the Websphere using the -Djs.license.directory argument.

Is this possible? If yes it would be really helpful if you have some pointers on this. If not what happens when the license expires. How will this manifest itself in terms of usability, generation/scheduling of jrxml reports etc.

Thanks and Regards,

Vishy

You can get the license expiration date by calling com.jaspersoft.jasperreports.license.LicenseManager.getLicenseInfo().getExpirationDate().  You can have a report that uses a text field expression to display that.

When the license expires, the Flash Maps/Charts/Widgets will stop working, you won't be able to compile, execute or export reports that embed such components.  Other reports will work fine.

Regards,
