Linux - Server Setup Guide

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

$ bin/regmaint

2. 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

3. Enter the path where you want to place the Omnidex registry file, or press [Return] for the default:

Please enter the location of the Omnidex registry file [/disc_dir]:

The default location of the registry file (shown above as disc_dir) is the home directory you specified through sam when you created the user omnidex.

4. Regmaint prompts you for the licensing information from the sticker accompanying the software, 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 licensing information correctly, regmaint will display the following message:

The following software products have been initialized for your use;

Omnidex Core. Version 308
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.

odxmake creates in the omnidex.profile which contains the default location of the OMNIDEX_REG variable. If you choose not to use omnidex.profile, you must 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 "/odxreg_path/odxreg"

odxreg_path represents the location of the Omnidex registry file you specified in above.

Activate the edited profile by entering ..profile.

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