Several XC software components require licensing, and depending upon the system configuration, one or more HP XC license key files were sent to you in e-mail messages. If you have not received the license key information, contact your HP representative.

Follow this procedure to save the license information into one file:

  1. On another machine, save the contents of the e-mail messages into one file named XC.lic.

  2. Remove all ^M characters (Ctrl+M) from this file if the file was sent to you through DOS.

  3. Save your changes and exit the file.

  4. Record the location of the file, because you need to know where it is later during the system configuration process.

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

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

Example 1-1 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 provided by Macrovision. See the FLEXlm documentation for information about how to modify a license key file. Use the search feature on the following Web site to search for the FLEXlm End User's Guide:
