Step 4: License the Software

The last steps to finish the installation involve invoking the new .profile that odxmake modified and licensing the software.

To invoke the new .profile, enter the following at the system prompt:

$ . .profile

To activate and license the Omnidex software, follow these steps.

1. Log in as the user you created in Step 1:

$ login omnidex
Password: omnidex

2. Run regmaint, which resides in the /bin subdirectory:

$ bin/regmaint

3. From the menu, shown below, select item 1:

Please choose from one of the following:

1) Enter licensing code and activation key.
2) Enter the expiration extension codes.
3) Display cpu model and system identification value.
4) Display licensing information.
0) Exit Regmaint.

Enter your menu choice [0]: 1

4. Regmaint prompts you for the licensing information from the sticker affixed to the last page of this manual, enter the appropriate licensing information at the appropriate prompt. For example:

Licensing code :McNnbsBpTMBYK
Activation key :MUMJ7M
Licensee Name :My company's name

Be sure to enter licensing information exactly as it appears on the sticker affixed to the last page of this manual. Type capital letters (like G) as such and lower case letters (like g) as such. Enter the Licensee Name exactly as it appears, even if it is misspelled or otherwise inaccurate.

5. If you entered the right licensing information, regmaint will display the following message:

The following software products have been initialized for your use;

Omnidex Core.
Omnidex Library.

Press the <enter/return> key to continue.

6. Press [Enter] or [Return] twice to return to the main menu and to exit regmaint.

You must also declare the location of the odxreg file by setting the OMNIDEX_REG environment variable in /etc/.profile (or each user's .profile), as shown in the following example:

export OMNIDEX_REG "/path/omnidex_dir/odxreg"

Omnidex is now installed on your system and is ready to use.
