License from Genero Studio

You can license Genero Report Engine from the Genero Studio installation.

About this task:

A Genero Report Engine (GRE) license is included with Genero Studio. While your Genero Business Development Language (BDL) installation has a valid maintenance key, you do not need to install a separate license for GRE. If your Genero BDL installation does not have a valid maintenance key, a GRE license is required. This topic describes how to install a GRE license from within Genero Studio.

You must have your product's license number and license key to hand.
You need a valid maintenance key. If you do not have this, please contact your local sales office to purchase a new maintenance contract.
Make sure you have the Customer code delivered by Four Js with your product. Typically, this is delivered by email with license number, license key, and maintenance key. If you do not have a Customer code, please contact your local sales office.

From the Genero Studio Tools > Genero Tools menu select Genero Report Engine Licenser

Note: You have 30 days to register the installation number and obtain an installation key.

Register the license

If you have internet access from the machine you are installing the license, select the Install using Four Js Activation server option to complete the license installation: If you need to go out through a proxy, you will have to provide the required information here, but if you have direct access to the internet, you can just leave the HTTP proxy and Port options blank.
In the Login field, enter your customer code.
Select Install Keys If the response from the activation server is good, a window pops up displaying “Licence successfully installed”.
Select OK to continue. The maintenance key is automatically installed at the same time, and another window pops up displaying “Maintenance key successfully installed”.
Click OK to continue. License status is 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.
The Genero Report Engine is licensed. All features of the Genero Report Writer are available for use.

If you do not have internet access, follow the procedure to register the license in Register a local Genero Report Writer license, and then continue with the installation procedures described in Install the installation key and Install or update the maintenance key.

Note: Until registration is completed:

Your Genero product has a temporary license, which means that all product features are available for use for 30 days.
You also have 30 days to fully complete the license installation.
