eduSoft, LC License Key Installation

The eduSoft, LC license manager program creates a simple ASCII text "key" that encodes your computer information, key expiration date, and software product information. This data is then read by the eduSoft program (hint!®, Molconn-Z, Zap or HASL) at certain points to verify your right to use the software.

The keys are maintained in the directory /usr/eduSoft/eslc/license/ in separate files for each product. However each product can have more than one entry, e.g., for multiple computers. If there is a network license combined with one or more node licenses that have special attributes, e.g., the Daylight Toolkit option, place the node license(s) above the network license in the license file.

Notes:

New releases of eduSoft, LC software will always come with an eslc subdirectory, but the model license files (that are named with the "x." prefix) will not overwrite the active licenses.

The "key" is the text string between the '' marks in the license file description; e.g., the "key" for node demo in the license file description (below) is demo * 45 rare maroon strawberry tortes.

eduSoft License File Generator Version 2

 Your License Key has been created based on the following information:

  Hostname: demo
  Username: *
  sysinfo -s: 1762224208
  Product: hint2.0S
  Expiration Date: Dec 31 1996

  License Key: 'demo * 45 rare maroon strawberry tortes'

Please check your hostname and sysinfo -s if there are licensing problems. The hostname must be what is returned by typing "hostname" to the unix prompt -- not the internet name which may or may not be the same.
