Install license with Four Js License Manager (via internet)

Follow this procedure to license a Genero product using the FLM command line tool, flmprg -l. 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 an error message.

Internet is required

You must have internet access from the FLM server to validate the license.

Which procedure should I follow?

To install your license, you must have either a license string, or you must have your license number, license key, and your customer login.

If you are not provided with a license string, you can generate a license string from your license number, license key, maintenance key, and login. For instructions on how to generate a license string, see Encode a license string.
