Obtaining a Full License File

You can obtain a license file, xpauth.xpr, from FICO Sales (or your Xpress supplier). The full license file removes the problem size limits imposed by a Community license. This applies to both new users and users upgrading from earlier releases. The full license file removes the restrictions imposed on problem size by a Community license. License files are generated using information from the output from the Xpress Host ID tool. If you are requesting a static license, run the tool using the following procedure on the machine that will host the installation; For a floating license, follow the steps to run the tool on the server.

• Using Microsoft Windows, you can run this tool from the Start menu, or by browsing in Windows Explorer to navigate to the <installationdir>\bin folder and double clicking 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 their ASSC (support) reference number.

A license authorizes the use of all minor releases within a major release. For example, a license file for Xpress 8.4 authorizes the installation of all 8.4 minor releases (8.4.1, 8.4.2, and so forth). A new license file is required for a new major release such as Xpress 8.5.
