Initializing help system before first use

Floating Licenses

  1. Users with floating licenses: make sure the Xpress license manager is installed and running on the server machine. Please refer to the chapter FICO Xpress Licensing for full instructions and troubleshooting. If you wish to install the license server as a service on Windows machines, run xpserver -service install and to remove the service, xpserver -service remove
  2. Users with floating licenses: when creating your installer for the client machines you will have to construct an xpauth.xpr file for connecting to the server. This file should contain one line as follows: 
    use_server name="<servername>"
    Where <servername> is the name of the license server machine. You may wish to prompt the user for this information as part of the install process.
