steps

  1. https://conductr.lightbend.com/docs/2.1.x/Licensing#Offline-Mode

problem

The current step 1:

Login to your lightbend.com account with your licensed email and setup your ~/.lightbend/commercial.credentials as described on lightbend.com. While setting up your commercial.credentials it’s important to use the email associated with your organization’s license, and not a personal account. In enterprise environments your license would usually be associated with your corporate email.

I feel like this step describes more about the general setup of ConductR, and not the offline license loading. Note that some of the customers might be in an air-gapped environment without (outbound) Internet access from the production environment.

The current step 2 and 3:

It's not clear from "your license" or "your file" whether these steps are performed on the developer's machine where CLI is located, or on the deployment machines.

expectation

Could we condense the instruction into two steps?:

  1. Copy & paste the offline license file to ~/.lightbend/license of your machine that has CLI set up.
  2. Execute conduct load-license --offline at the command line.

and remove current step 1, and create a new paragraph for retrieving the offline license file from https://www.lightbend.com/product/conductr/license. An IT person in charge of installing might get the file in a different way.
