DESCRIPTION

Installing Licenses

When you register to evaluate the Novell exteNd Messaging Platform or when you license this product you get a license string that looks something like the following.

   extend-mp 5.2 0.0.0.0 XX-XX-XXXX X XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX

To install this license, do the following steps:

copy the string to a file and run the licensetool with the -create flag
copy the generated JBrokerLicenses.class file to the $(NOVELL_EXTEND_HOME)/MP/lib directory.
If the ORB was installed as a Java 2 extension, then also copy this class file into the $(JAVA_HOME)/jre/lib/ext/classes directory. If the classes directory does not exist then you will need to create it first.
verify the license using the licensetool -print option (see below)

Printing the Installed License

To print the installed license, run the licensetool with the -print flag. It will display the version of products installed and the type of license. See below for example from an evaluation license.

   Product    : jBroker Server Eval
   Version    : 3.0
   Expires    : Sun May 28 00:00:00 PDT 2000

OPTIONS

-print

Print the currently installed licenses.

-create licenseFile

Create a jBrokerLicense.class file using the licenses obtained from Novell. After the license class is generated, it needs to be put back into the $(NOVELL_EXTEND_HOME)/MP/lib directory. If the ORB was installed as a Java 2 extension, then the class file should also be copied into the $(JAVA_HOME)/jre/lib/ext/classes directory.
