2.6 Generate license information

Most of the programs that form the ADF package require a license file to run. This file contains information about your machine, the version(s) of the package for which you have a license, and about the end date of your license.

You will receive the license file from SCM, but SCM first needs to get some information from you about your machines. ADF program generates this information by running on your machine when no (valid) license file is available.

→ Run the following command:

$ADFBIN/dirac CHECK

→ Mail the resulting output to license@scm.com

SCM will prepare a license file for you, according to your license conditions, and mail it to you with instructions on how to install it.

Example:

$ADFBIN/dirac CHECK

This will produce the output very similar to the following:

% $ADFBIN/dirac ADF                  
 
 
 Checked: license.txt
