How to Update the PeakTrace License on Linux

April 22, 2019 By Daniel

A question we occasionally get asked is how to generate and update the PeakTrace license from the command line when using the Linux version of PeakTrace. The step–by–step process involves

1. Open a shell window with the USB Key plugged in and enter:

cmu --list

This command will list the serial number of the CmContainer which you will need to generate the PeakTrace License Request file.

Terminal output of cmu --list showing the CmContainer serial number and version2. Create the license request file using:

cmu --context 101945 --file [serial number].WibuCmRaC

Terminal output of cmu --context 101945 --file writing the license request file3. Email this file to Nucleics (or your local supplier).

4. You will be returned an updated license file which can be imported into the PeakTrace USB Key using:

cmu --import --file [serial number].WibuCmRaU

Terminal output of cmu --import confirming the license update was successful

5. Update the time on the key using:

cmu –time-update
