License

Trial

By default a trial license valid for 30 calendar days will be installed and used when Invantive Bridge is installed. The user will receive a license error message after 30 days or when the data container was previously used with a trial license.

Permanent License

The recommended steps to install a license key are:

•Place the text of the license key in a file named 'invantive.lic' in the folder %USERPROFILE%\invantive.

•Or set the environment variable INVANTIVE_LICENSE_FILE_PATH to the full path of the file.

•Restart Microsoft Power BI.

Alternatively, the file path of the license file can also be specified using the connection string key "license-file" of the Power BI data source as in:

license-file=h:\invantive\invantive-bridge-license.txt

Other driver-specific configuration options such as the client ID or number of parallel requests (requests-parallel-max) can be configured in the connection string too. The available options are listed with the data model of each Invantive SQL connector on https://documentation.invantive.com.
