License Key setup for the JMSL Numerical Library for Java

Depending on the installation, not all steps are required.

• Evaluations:  To enter a temporary demo key, follow Steps 1 and 2.
• Unlimited Server:  For an uncounted server key, follow Steps 1 and 2.
• Per User:  For node-locked or floating keys, follow Steps 1 through 3.

1. Permanent License Key information
For a permanent License Key, specific information about your system is required. To obtain this information, follow Step 7 on the previous web page or change the root directory of the install location of JMSL and run the command java –jar setup.jar –hostid > hostid.txt.

The information contained in hostid.txt should be emailed to lmgr@vni.com so that a permanent License Key for this system can be created.

2. License Key input
Once you receive your permanent License Key, or if you are using a temporary DEMO key, the information needs to be copied into the license.dat file. The default location of this file is [JMSL install dir]\license.dat. You can do this manually in a text editor or use the JMSL Setup GUI to edit and save the license.dat file. Below are two example license.dat files.

Permanent License Key for one user

Temporary DEMO key for evaluation

3. Configuring the license server
The license manager can be configured from the setup.jar used to install JMSL by running java –jar setup.jar from a command line. Select the start button from the License Manager screen to start the license manager.

Other information which may be useful

• If there is ever a problem checking out licenses, the first step should be to stop and restart the server using the Start and Stop buttons.
