License Genero Report Writer using a local license

Information about licensing Genero Report Writer products using a license controller.

Licensing at product installation

If you want to install a license locally during the initial product installation, you need the license number and license key supplied with the product package, as well as the maintenance key supplied with your maintenance contract.

At the time of installation, you are prompted for the license number and license key. If you have a direct internet connection, the maintenance key is automatically activated. If you are not connected to the internet, you must update the maintenance key.

Notes about Upgrading

When upgrading, if the product is installed over the existing directory having a valid license, you do not have to re-enter the license keys, see License an upgraded installation.

When you have purchased a new maintenance contract, the new maintenance key must be installed. To install your new maintenance key, you do not need to reinstall your license. Updating the maintenance key is handled separately. There is also no need to uninstall the old maintenance key. See Install or update the maintenance key.
