How to name and install your license file

Once you have followed the instructions in How to View and Active your license, you will have a license file.

Now you need to configure the machine(s) that will be running the DeltaXML software to use the license file.

Step-by-step guide

Steps involved:

Step 1: First rename the license file to match the name of the product you are using.
The following table lists the names used for each product:

Product

License File/Resource Name

XML Compare

CODE
deltaxml-xml-compare.lic

General Merge

CODE
deltaxml-merge.lic

DITA Compare

CODE
deltaxml-dita.lic

DITA Merge

CODE
deltaxml-dita-merge.lic

DocBook Compare

CODE
deltaxml-docbook.lic

XML Compare REST

CODE
deltaxml-compare-rest.lic

Step 2: Place the license file in one of the following locations:

  • The same directory as the jar or exe/dll files in your unpacked installation

  • Your home directory

  • As a resource on your java classpath

  • A user specified location may be used by calling the API method setLicenseFile

Step 3: Test that the licensing is working. This can be done by typing a command-line specific for each product:

Product

License-Test Command-line*

XML Compare

CODE
java -jar deltaxml-x.y.z.jar

General Merge

CODE
java -jar deltaxml-merge-x.y.z.jar license

DITA Compare

CODE
java -jar deltaxml-dita.jar

DITA Merge

CODE
java -jar deltaxml-dita-merge.jar license

DocBook Compare

CODE
java -jar deltaxml-docbook.jar

XML Compare REST

CODE
java -jar deltaxml-rest-x.y.z.jar

*Note

For the above command-line, replace x.y.z with major.minor.patch number for a specific release.

For example, for XML Compare 10.0.0 - use: java -jar deltaxml-10.0.0.jar

(Currently DITA Merge, DITA Compare and DocBook Compare don't use the x.y.z suffix - but this is likely to change for future releases)
