8.4 Obtaining and Installing your license keys

8.4.1 Keyfiles and the license server on SPARC

This section applies to 32-bit LispWorks for SPARC Solaris only. For information about licensing 64-bit LispWorks for SPARC Solaris, see Installing the license key on Sun Sparc (64-bit).

LispWorks requires a license key in order to run. To make a key available to LispWorks, you must use either the keyfile system, or the License Server.

Most customers use a keyfile. The License Server is more suitable for large sites with many LispWorks users.

8.4.1.1 If you are using the keyfile system

You will need a valid key, placed in a keyfile, for LispWorks to run.

To get a key for your copy of LispWorks, contact Lisp Support. You need to supply the machine ID. You can find this out by starting the LispWorks image up--the ID will be printed in the keyfile error message produced.

Send this information by e-mail to the following address:

lisp-keys@lispworks.com

Other queries should be sent to

lisp-support@lispworks.com

although please be sure to check Reporting bugs for instructions before sending us a bug report. All contact details are in Send the bug report.

Once you have your key, put it in a file in one of the following locations:

If there is more than one key in the keyfile, make sure each one is on a separate line in the file and that there is no leading space before it.

For more details, see How to obtain keys.

8.4.1.2 If you are using the License Server

You will need to obtain permission codes from Lisp Support before you can get LispWorks up and running. Consult the LispWorks Guide to the License Server .

8.4.2 Installing the license key on Sun Sparc (64-bit)

This section applies to 64-bit LispWorks for SPARC Solaris only. For information about licensing 32-bit LispWorks for SPARC Solaris, see Keyfiles and the license server on SPARC.

When you run LispWorks for the first time, you will need to enter your license details. This should be done as follows (all on one line):

lispworks-7-0-0-sparc64-solaris --lwlicenseserial SERIALNUMBER --lwlicensekey LICENSEKEY

where SERIALNUMBER and LICENSEKEY are the strings supplied with LispWorks.

Your LispWorks license key is supplied on a label on the folder containing the CD-ROM.

Contact lisp-keys@lispworks.com if you have problems with your LispWorks license key.
