Entire Net-Work Client License Key

A permanent license is required in order to run the Entire Net-Work Client. Every time the Entire Net-Work Client software starts, the license key file is read and the validity of the license key is checked. So, you will be required to specify the location of a license key file that contains your Entire Net-Work Client license key during the installation procedure. The license key you specify for an Entire Net-Work Client installation is not the same license key you specify for an Entire Net-Work Server installation.

This document contains the information on license keys for Entire Net-Work Client.

Important:
If you uninstall Entire Net-Work Client on Windows systems, the license file will be deleted. (Note that on UNIX systems, it is not deleted.) Management of the license file is, therefore, your responsibility. Make sure that you have a copy of the file before doing the uninstall.


License Key File Location and Use

The Entire Net-Work Client license key file is generally distributed on diskette, although, in special cases, it can be shipped via e-mail. The file name is in the following format, where vr is the version and release number of the product: wclvrm.xml.

Be sure that the file containing the license key is in a location that will be accessible during the Entire Net-Work Client installation, such as on the file system or in a disk drive. During the installation of Entire Net-Work Client with the InstallShield, you are asked to locate the license file. Once it is located, the license file will be copied into a Software AG common area.

If you are installing Entire Net-Work Client on a laptop and you have received your license file on a diskette, note that some laptop configurations do not allow you access to the CD-ROM drive and the diskette drive simultaneously. In such cases you must copy the license file to a location that is accessible while the CD-ROM drive is in use, such as your laptop's hard disk, before you start the installation procedure. In general, Software AG recommends that you place the license file on the file system before starting the installation procedure.

Note:
The license file is sometimes transmitted via e-mail. If you received the file via e-mail, copy it to a directory on your hard drive. If you received the file on a floppy disk, you may leave it there.

The License Key File

The license key file is provided as an XML document. This document can be viewed, using a browsing tool or text editor. It contains text, which represents the licensing information and a digital signature. It displays Software AG legal notices, copyright information, etc., as well as the product license information.

Warning:
Any modification of the license key file will invalidate the digital signature and the license key check will fail. If the check fails, you will not be able to install or run the product. In the event of a check failure, please contact your Software AG Support representative.
