<oXygen/> XML Editor User Guide

Obtaining and Installing an <oXygen/> License

<oXygen/> 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 <oXygen/> 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 <oXygen/> Web Site.

Once you have obtained a license the installation procedure is as follows:

Procedure 2.10. License Installation

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

  2. Start the <oXygen/> application.

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

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

  5. Paste the license text in the registration dialog, and press Register.

You have the following alternative for the procedure of license install:

  1. Save the license key in a file named licensekey.txt.

  2. Copy the file in the application folder. In that way the license will not be asked when <oXygen/> will start.

  3. Start the <oXygen/> application.

How floating licenses work

The installation procedure of floating licenses is the same as for the Named User licenses. You will not have to install a license server for managing the concurrent use of the floating licenses. The license management is done by communication between the instances of <oXygen/> that are connected to the same local network and that run at the same time. Any new instance of <oXygen/> that is started after the number of running instances is equal with the number of purchased licenses will display a warning message and will disable the open file action.

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
