Strategy 2019 enables customers proactively understand their usage. The Strategy 2019 installation program will ask for this new version specific license key before the installation can continue. You can quickly get your new key by clicking the licenses key generation link in the licenses key prompt. You can also get your key from the MicroStrategy Download site.
The new version specific license key will be limited to the number of named users or CPU licenses purchased. Once the server is started, the Strategy platform will audit the system usage for license compliance and indicate to administrators (and eventually end users) if the usage of Strategy is out of compliance with the purchased license amounts. CPU licenses will be enforced upon upgrade and named user licenses will have a 30-day grace period.
