Client: Post-Installation for UNIX

After successfully installing Prolifics software, there are several post-installation steps required to start using Prolifics. This chapter discusses licensing, building Prolifics executables, setting up the environment for each of the Prolifics components installed, and post-installation issues and troubleshooting tips.

Post-Installation Overview

As part of post-installation, you need to perform the following general steps, some of which are based on the architecture of your application. 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 36).

3.Configure the client environment (refer to page 38).

4.Verify the Prolifics installation based on what you installed (refer to page 40).

5.Look at a sample application (refer to page 40).

Licensing for Prolifics

Obtaining a

Permanent

License File

The Prolifics installation includes a Start-up License that lets you use Prolifics (and run Prolifics applications) immediately. The temporary license, license.dat, is located in the licenses subdirectory of the Prolifics installation directory. Since the license expires in 45 days, you must contact the Prolifics License Desk during this period to receive your permanent license file. Make your request as soon as possible and return to this section when you receive the permanent license file.

You must obtain a permanent license file before the Start-up License expires to continue to develop and run Prolifics applications. Each development client must have access to a license file.

Note: All development components require licenses. In a deployed application, the web application server (if applicable) requires a license, but the client does not.

During installation, the setup program prompted you to provide the License Desk with the appropriate information to obtain your permanent license file. It also generated license request files (*.lcl) in the licenses subdirectory of your Prolifics installation directory for each component installed on a given machine.
