Upgrading (non-ocp only)

Upgrading from evaluation to productive usage

IBM Cloud Transformation Advisor can be installed and used for free for 90 days. After 90 days you will need entitlement to continue using TA_Local. The following instruction should be followed when the 90 Day Free Evaluation period is over and you have purchased entitlements to a product containing Transformation Advisor.

Step 1: Get a key to the entitled registry.

An entitlement key for the software is associated with your MyIBM account. Get the entitlement key that is assigned to your ID.

Log in to MyIBM Container Software Library with the IBMid and password that are associated with the entitled software.
In the Entitlement keys section, select Copy key to copy the entitlement key to the clipboard.

To set the entitled registry information export the entitled registry, user and key.

export ENTITLED_REGISTRY=cp.icr.io
export ENTITLED_REGISTRY_USER=cp
export ENTITLED_REGISTRY_KEY=<entitlement_key>

docker login "$ENTITLED_REGISTRY" -u "$ENTITLED_REGISTRY_USER" -p "$ENTITLED_REGISTRY_KEY"

Step 3: Update the image tag in the .configuration script

Go to the scripts directory
Make a backup of the .configuration script
Edit the .configuration script
