How do I activate FlexNetLicensingToolkitForJava-v11.16.5.1.tar

[chris58]

Hi!

I've configured and compiled the C version without problems.

I could not find any instructions on how to use the java version. After some decoding of the jar files I found out that CreateVendorInfo either needs TRL_KEY1/TRL_KEY2 or some lmpubkey.h file which includes some other stuff. I did not find any lmpubkey.h, so I used the other alternative without really knowing what I was doing.  ./vendorInfo.h was doing fine now, creating the vendorInfo.java class.

But, running the BasicExample now issues:  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: No public keys available...

Could someone please point me to instructions on how to make the java library work?

Thanks in advance

Hello @chris58 , 

To enable the Java based licensing of applications, we would need to copy few files from the corresponding C toolkit directory. As in the steps are:

=====================================

Copy the following files from the toolkit path to the your java folder

<machind dir>\lm_code.h
<platform dir>\lmpubkey.h
<platform dir>\lmseeds.h

Note: If lmpubkey.h does not exist, you need to create it. In the C toolkit platform directory, type: lmnewgen -pubkey

=====================================

So, do you have access to the "C" toolkit and are you able to build the "C/C++ toolkit" ?

Hi @aparashar1 

Thank you a lot!!! That's the solution. 🙂

Maybe somebody should consider to add a little note in a REAMDE file on how to generate the necessary lmpubkey.h. Or, even better, put the info into the usage() method of CreateVendorInfo. Would have saved me several hours of trial&error, decompiling, searching on the web etc.etc.

Thanks again!

Regards

In the platform directory, type: lmnewgen -pubkey Step 4     Description: In java folder, open vendorInfo.bat file and update the classname from demoInfo to <vendor_name>Info eg., qavend8Info Step 5     Description: Execute vendorInfo.bat to generate <vendor_name>Info.java Step 6     Description: Compile the java file : javac <vendor_name>Info.java to create <vendor_name>Info.class Step 7     Description: Copy the <vendor_name>Info.class file to examples folder
