2. Get a licence from Sales Administration
There are three situations where you will need a new Must licence:
• When you purchase HOPEX products (new license).
• When you negotiate a different licence content (licence update).
• When you relocate Must licence folder (licence relocation).
To obtain or update your licence, contact your sales representative.
• A UNC will be requested.
• A Must licence file will be sent by MEGA Sales Administration.
2.1. Choose a machine to host the licence folder
If you do not have the technical skills or the authorization required for this step, contact your system administrator.
Recommendations:
• With single server deployment, use the HOPEX Server.
• With multiple server's deployment, choose one of the back-end servers.
• Target server should be an efficient file server.
• At runtime, file access will be made from module HOPEX Core.
2.2. Create a licence folder
If you do not have the technical skills or the authorization required for this step, contact your system administrator.
Create a shared folder, as far as possible in a DFS.
The licence folder must be accessible as a UNC address, meaning a shared folder with one unique address on the network.
Examples of authorized sharing:
\\Server001\Licences
\\Domain01\Applications\HOPEX\Licences (DFS)
\\Server001.Domain01.com\Licences (FQDN)
Examples of unauthorized sharing:
\\Server002\c$\ HOPEX\Licences (administrative share)
M:\Licences (network letter)
Notes:
• The shared folder name will be used a parameter for programming the licence. If it changes, the license will no longer be valid.
• The licence folder must be accessible as a UNC with permission modify to all Windows account that run HOPEX Core components. If you want to configure smarter permissions, consult the 'FAQs and troubleshooting' section of this document.
2.3. Get licence file
Send the shared folder path to MEGA Sales Administration when requested.
You will get a .must file valid for this path
