3.1 Obtaining a License File

Micro Focus File Reporter requires a production license file or evaluation license file that you obtain from Micro Focus.

  1. In a web browser, go to www.filereportersupport.com.

  2. On the left side of the Web page, click Licensing.

    A new Web page appears with options for obtaining the license in either eDirectory or Active Directory network environments.

    The File Reporter directory type license you select is based on the directory service you use to authenticate to your network. Although File Reporter can simultaneously report on storage devices residing in both eDirectory and Active Directory networks, you only authenticate to one directory service or “identity system.”

  3. Complete the fields and click Submit.

    An email from File Reporter Support is automatically sent to you with an embedded link for accessing the license.

  4. In the email, click Download License File.

    A new Access web page is opened.

  5. From the Access page, select the listed license file and click the arrow icon to download the license.

  6. Note where the license file is saved.

    You need to retrieve the license during the installation of the File Reporter Engine.
