Licensing for Prolifics Web Application Server

Obtaining aPermanentLicense 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.
