Configure compatibility for Genero prior to 4.00

To make your Genero installations 3.20 and 3.10 compatible with FLM 6.00 or if your Genero installations 3.20 and 3.10 use a subscription license, you must upgrade the license controller and configure them to run in compatibility mode.

You may need to configure compatibility for the following reasons:
  • To make your Genero installations 3.20 and 3.10 compatible with Four Js License Manager (FLM) 6.00.
  • To use subscription licensing with Genero 3.20 and 3.10 installations.
Important:

At this time, you can configure compatibility for Genero 3.20 and 3.10 installations.

Before you begin, if using FLM, you must have configured the server, and you must have the service running.

  1. Update the Genero product license controller to the latest version. See Patching a license controller.
    The license controller is updated to the latest version.
  2. Configure the Genero 3.20 and 3.10 installation for compatibility with FLM 6.

    Set flm.server="compatv6" in the FGLPROFILE file.

    The license controller for the Genero installation is now set to the latest version.

    If you encounter errors during the upgrade, licensing version 6 errors are mapped to the number -6000 and below. Full information on errors (including the mapping) will be found in the logs. If assistance is required, contact your local Four Js support center.
