How to configure your server for an upgrade license

Introduction

This article demonstrates how to test if your server meets the requirements to use an upgrade license, and if not, how to configure it.

Prerequisites

A Business or Host Edition license (purchase or trial now)

Steps

1. Create a PHP file on your client server, paste the below code, and then run it from your browser. This will indicate whether OpenSSL is enabled.

      <?php

      if(extension_loaded('openssl')) {

        echo 'OpenSSL is loaded';

      } else {

        echo 'OpenSSL is NOT loaded';

      }

2. If OpenSSL is not enabled, open your php.ini file, add the following, and then recompile:

extension=php_openssl.dll
