Install GRW license from the command line

Without internet access, you register the license with Four Js from another machine via the internet, or by phone. Use this procedure to license a Genero Report Writer (GRW) product using the command line tool, grxWrt.

Important: If your installation directory is in the C:\Program Files path, you must run as administrator when you license the product. This avoids any permission issues.
Tip: Run the envgre script before starting. This ensures that the installation environment for Genero Report Engine is set.
  1. Install license using license string.
    Type the command grxWrt --install-license-string license-string
    Important: 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 create a license string, see Encode a license string.
    The license is installed in temporary mode.
    Note: The license number and an installation number is displayed in the output. The installation number is needed for registering the license.
  2. From a machine that has internet access or a smart phone, go to the License your products page on the Four Js web site and follow the procedure described in Register your license.

    With your license registered, you have the required keys.

    1. Type grxWrt -k license-number
    2. At the prompt:
