Task 6: Have the License Key File Ready

Several XC software components require licensing, and two HP XC license key files were sent to you in two separate e-mail messages. If you have not received your license key information, contact your HP representative.

On another machine, save the contents of these two messages into one file named XC.lic. Remove all ^M characters (Ctrl+M) from this file if the file was sent to you through DOS.

Record the location of this file. During the system configuration process, you will copy this file to the appropriate directory on your HP XC system, as described in “Put the License Key File in the Correct Location (Required)”.

	Note: The sample XC.lic shown in Example 2-1 is included in this document for illustrative purposes only; it is not intended for use and is not valid for your system.

Example 2-1 Sample XC.lic File

Hewlett Packard Company -- This message in its entirety may be placed into your license file. Use an ASCII Text Editor to avoid introducing characters which will invalidate the license file. If you have any problems installing this license key, contact the parties listed on the associated license documentation or web site.

Your site might have specific licensing requirements that require you to modify the license key file. For example, your site might be using an external license server. In that case, you need to modify the USE_SERVER attribute.

HP XC license management is provided by the industry-standard FLEXlm license management utility developed by Macrovision (formerly Globetrotter). See the FLEXlm documentation for information about modifying a license key file. You can obtain the FLEXlm End User's Guide at:
