Create Upgrade License Template Using Ulscgen
The upgrade license code can also be generated by the upgrade license code generator (a command line utility for Windows, UNIX).
NOTE Before generating the upgrade license code, you need to generate the upgrade locking code for the base license using echouid.
A sample of the command line upgrade code generator user interface is shown below:
The following table briefly describes the upgrade license code generator command-line options.
| Option | Description |

| -h | Displays the help for upgrade license code generator. |
| -ver | Enables the user to generate an older version library upgrade code. |
| -upid | Specifies the upgrade locking code of base license. |
| -E | Specifies the Feature Name of the base license that needs to be upgraded. |
