Install installation key / update maintenance key

Enter the installation and maintenance keys to complete the licensing.

About this task:

This procedure describes the method for installing the installation key and maintenance key for Genero products using a Genero Licenser application.

Note: This procedure is valid for a local license only. If you are using the Four Js License Manager, see License Manager Usage and Options (flmprg) (or the Four Js License Manager User Guide).

Before you begin: You need the installation and maintenance keys obtained when you registered your licence, see Register the license.

Launch the Genero Licenser application either from within the Genero product (Tools > Genero Tools menu) or by selecting the required tool from the Four Js product program list:
- Genero BDL Licenser (for Genero Enterprise or Genero Mobile products)
- Genero Report Engine for Java Licenser (for Genero Report Writer products)
- Genero Report Engine Licenser (for Genero Report Engine (GRE))
The Four Js Licensing Application opens.

In the Installation Key field enter your installation key and select Install key. A window pops up displaying “Installation key successfully installed”.
In the Maintenance Key field enter your maintenance key and select Update key.
Note: 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.
A window pops up displaying “Maintenance key successfully installed”.
License status updated:
- The Licensing status field is updated: “temporary information stored” has been replaced with “License installation successful”.
- In the field under Licensing status you will see the maintenance expiry date appears after the End of maintenance date: This means that your maintenance key is valid until the date displayed.
Your product is now fully licensed.
Select Quit to close the Genero Licenser application.
