Obtaining a License File

You must obtain a license file, xpauth.xpr, from FICO Sales (or your FICO® Xpress supplier) before you can use Xpress Insight and FICO® Xpress software to perform optimization.
Note You will require a licensed installation of Xpress for any installation of Insight that will be used to perform optimization. Insight installations which are used exclusively for model management can use an unlicenced installation of Xpress.
This applies to both new users and users upgrading from earlier releases. To request a license file, for each license required, send the output of the FICO® Xpress Host ID tool to your supplier. (When obtaining a floating license, run xphostid on the server machine rather than the client.) Using Microsoft ® Windows ®, you can run this tool from the Start menu, or browse in Windows Explorer to navigate to the <installationdir>\bin folder and double click xphostid.exe. If you use UNIX, the tool is installed in the <installationdir>/bin folder as xphostid.

If you are upgrading from an earlier release, you must also supply your ASSC (support) reference number.
