License BDL from the command line (no internet)

Without internet access, you register the license with Four Js from another machine via the internet, or by phone. Then use the fglWrt command line tool to license your Genero Business Development Language (BDL) product.

Important:

If your installation directory is in the C:\Program Files path, you must run as administrator when you license the product. This avoids any permission issues.

Tip:

Run the envcomp script before starting. This ensures that the installation environment for Genero BDL is set.

Which procedure should I follow?

To install your license, you must have either a license file, a license string, or your license number, license key, and customer login.

If you are not provided with a license string, you can generate a license string from your license number, license key, maintenance/subscription key, and login.
