Update or display the license file.

The p4 license command allows Perforce superusers to update or display the Perforce license file. This command requires that there is already a valid license file in the Perforce server root directory.

Use p4 license to add licensed users to a Perforce service without having to shut down the service and manually copy the license file into the server root.

Most new license files obtained from Perforce can be installed with p4 license, (or by copying over the existing license file) except for when the service's IP address or port has changed. If either the server IP address or port number has changed, restart the service with p4 admin restart.

Without a valid license, the versioning service limits itself to either 20 users and 20 client workspaces (and unlimited files), or to an unlimited number of users and workspaces (but with a limit of 1,000 files).
