Mackie V7.0 manual How to install a license key

Installation (users only) Installing Xprint V7.0

Example 2

A site license needs to be installed only once in an Xprint V7.0 domain. It is propagated throughout the domain by Xprint V7.0’s internal mechanisms.

Host B			Host C
		Net Server
	Site NeT Server	+ SAP

Host A 256 devices Host D

A site license is available on B, which offers Net Server. This privilege is given to all the hosts in the domain. No keys are thus needed on A, C and D.

If keys are found locally while a site key is active, Xprint V7.0 increments the site key locally with any additional privilege: Host C has Net server from the site license plus the local key Net Server it already had (no advantage), plus R/3 kit. Host D has Net Server from the site license. Its second key allows up to 256 devices in the domain.

How to install a license key

The keys to be installed consist of one or more strings made up of printable characters and spaces. Each string ends with a colon (:) in order to clearly delimit the final character.

The keys are saved in files whose names are prefixed with DPM (standing for Distributed Printing Manager). The rest of the filename is free. These files are located in the directory /etc/.OSL_LICENCE on UNIX platforms and in Xprint/config/data on Windows.

Two methods can be considered in order to install a license key : manually or using the xpkey command.

Manual installation

Make sure the directory /etc/.OSL_LICENCE exists and give it the access mode 0555. Create A DPM<suffix> file with the license string exactly as provided, where suffix is any free string allowed in a file name.
