As described in section 1.1.3 of this document, a license file is created from the product code and product key by the Activator utility.
The Product Code and Product Key
In order to obtain the product code and product key pair for your end-user, you need to provide Acucorp with the following information:
Host operating system Acucorp needs information about the target machine, such as the name of the
operating system (OS), the release version of the OS, and the type of processor
(such as: Intel or Sparc). For example:
Windows NT 4.1 (Intel)
DEC VAX VMS 6.1
DEC Alpha Open VMS 7.2
SCO UNIX Open Server 5.0.5
DG/UX SVR4 R4.11 (Intel)
Linux (glibc 2.0) (Intel)
Solaris 8.0 (SPARC) 64-bit
MS Extended DOS
Number of users You also need to specify how many users will be accessing the application at the same time (concurrent users). For example, if a site needs access to an application from a number of machines, but only by one user at a time, this would require a different license file than a site where multiple users access the same application concurrently.
Acucorp products You need to specify which Acucorp products will be run with your application. Remember to specify the version number of the product using three-digits, such as 5.1.0.
Once your Acucorp representative has this information, the product code and product key pair(s) will be shipped in accordance with your License Agreement.
