Web Application Server: Post-Installation for Windows

Refer to page 9 for information on running the setup program to install Prolifics software under Windows. You will be prompted during the installation process for the Start-up License, which is provided on a separate floppy disk.

If you install the web application server on a separate machine from Prolifics client software, you must also install the database drivers on that machine.

Post-Installation Overview

As part of post-installation, you need to perform the following general steps for web application server installations. The details of the steps are provided in the pages that follow.

1.Obtain a permanent license file before the Start-up License file expires.

2.Create new Prolifics executables if required (refer to page 13).

3.Configure the web server environment (refer to page 23).

4.Verify the web application server installation (refer to page 24).

5.Look at samples (refer to page 25).

Licensing for Prolifics Web Application Server

Obtaining a

Permanent

License File

The Prolifics installation includes a Start-up License, provided on a floppy diskette, that lets you use Prolifics (and run Prolifics applications) immediately. The temporary license, license.dat, is installed in the licenses subdirectory of the Prolifics installation directory. Since the license will expire, you must contact the Prolifics License Desk to receive your permanent license file. Make your request now and return to this section when you receive the permanent license file.

The setup program prompts you for the Start-up License floppy disk during the initial installation.

You must obtain a permanent license file before the Start-up License expires to continue to develop Prolifics web applications. Each web application server must have access to a license file.

Note: The Prolifics web application server requires a license during development and deployment.
