Install or update the maintenance key

Information on methods for installing or updating the maintenance key for your Genero product using the license controller and the Genero BDL Licenser .

A maintenance key is provided with your maintenance contract. The key indicates the day that the maintenance contract expires. If you are licensing the product, you will be prompted for the maintenance key during the licensing process.

If you have purchased a new maintenance contract, you only need to install the new maintenance key. You do not need to reinstall your license, or uninstall the old maintenance key.

Note: This topic is valid for a local license only. If you are using the Four Js License Manager, see the Four Js License Manager User Guide.

Before you begin:

You must be the root user or the user who installed the software to run the fglWrt command.
You must have set your Genero environment, if you wish to run the fglWrt command from any directory

You do not need the maintenance key as it will be retrieved automatically and installed for you.
