Obtaining and registering a license key

The <oXygen/> XML Editor is not free software and requires a license in order to enable the application.

For demonstration and evaluation purposes a time limited license is available upon request from the <oXygen/> web site. This license is supplied at no cost for a period of 30 days from date of issue. During this period the <oXygen/> XML Editor is fully functional enabling you to test all aspects of the application. Thereafter, the application is disabled and a permanent license must be purchased in order to use the application. For special circumstances, if a trial period of greater than 30 days is required, please contact . All licenses are obtained from the <oXygen/> web site .

For definitions and legal details of the license types available for <oXygen/> you should consult the End User License Agreement received with the license key and available also on the <oXygen/> website at http://www.oxygenxml.com/eula.html

[Note]Note

Starting with version 7.1 <oXygen/> accepts a license key for a newer version in the license registration dialog, e.g. version 7.1 accepts a license key for version 8.0.

Once you have obtained a license the installation procedure is described below.

 Named User license installation

 
  1. Save a backup copy of the message containing the new license key.

  2. Start the application.

  3. Copy to the clipboard the license text as explained in the message.

  4. If this is a new install of the application then it will display automatically the registration dialog when it is started. In the case you already used the application and obtained a new license, use the menu option Help/Register to make the registration dialog appear.
