Activating From the Command Line on Linux - ODBC Driver for MySQL

Activate From the Command Line

To activate the driver from the command line over the internet on Linux, follow these steps (this method works for both Perpetual and Subscription licenses):

1. In a terminal, navigate to the folder where the driver is installed. The default installation path is:
   • For the DEB package: /usr/share/devart/odbcmysql
   • For the RPM package: /usr/local/devart/odbcmysql
2. Optional: To open the Customer Portal in your browser and locate your activation key, run the following command:

   ./mysqlodbcactivator -g

   Alternatively, you can find your activation key in the registration email.
3. Run the activation command with superuser privilege, providing either the driver activation key or the path of the file with the key:
   • To activate using the activation key:

     sudo ./mysqlodbcactivator -a <activation_key>

     Replace <activation_key> with the driver activation key.
   • To activate using a file:

     sudo ./mysqlodbcactivator -a <file_path>

     Replace <file_path> with the full path of the file containing the driver activation key.

When the process is complete, the driver is activated, and the License Summary is displayed in the console.
