Steps to GRW license installation

Preparing to license involves evaluating your options based on what licensing tool (GUI or command line) is available to you, and whether you can validate the installed license with Four Js over the internet. Choose the option that is right for you and match it with the procedure to follow.

Before you begin Genero product licensing:
  1. Locate your email message that contains the following:
    • product license key
    • product license number
    • product maintenance key
    • your customer code
    If you do not have this email, contact your local Four Js sales office.
  2. Decide which tool (GUI or command line) you are using to install the license:
    • Genero Report Engine for Java Licenser (GUI application)
    • grxWrt (command line tool).
  3. Determine if you have internet access from the machine you are licensing the product.
  4. Use Table 1 to choose your licensing option, and select the procedure to follow.
