DBAPI binds with hardware, a license required on each machine

Get the serial number

DBAPI automatically exits on the first start and the serial number is printed at the end of the log file before exit. So you must start it once to get the serial number.

For standalone mode deployment, get the serial number at the end of the logs/dbapi-standalone.log file. For cluster deployment, get the serial number at the end of the logs/dbapi-apiServer.log file for each machine

For cluster deployment, each machine has a serial number, and each machine requires a license
