A temporary license is only valid for 7 days and can be used on any server as long as the operating system matches.
This type of license should be requested in the following scenarios:
To determine if you need a temporary license navigate to the following directory using the command line and run k.exe (or ./k for Linux):
<APPIAN_HOME>/server/_bin/k/<OS>/
If k3.lic is printed, then you should request a temporary license.
A product license is valid for an extended period of time and can only be used on the server that it was requested for.
In order to generate the k output, navigate to <APPIAN_HOME>/server/_bin/k/<OS>/ and run k.exe (./k if Linux).
The License Management Application allows registered users on Forum to request a product license to install Appian.
Please note that generating the long-term Product license can take up to 4-5 business days.
