Install license with Four Js License Manager (via internet)

Use this procedure to license a Genero product using the FLM command line tool, flmprg. During installation, the license is registered with Four Js via the internet.

Access to the FLM license directory

Users who install licenses must have write access to the $FLMDIR/etc/license directory. If access is denied, users receive the error message:

(FLM-9): Failed to open file 'C:\Program Files\FourJs\flm6/etc/license/license-TAB#AAAXYZ.dat' for writing.

Internet is required

To follow this procedure, you must have internet access from the FLM server to validate the license.

Which procedure should I follow?
