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

deltaxml-xml-compare.lic
CODE

General Merge

deltaxml-merge.lic
CODE

DITA Compare

deltaxml-dita.lic
CODE

DITA Merge

deltaxml-dita-merge.lic
CODE

DocBook Compare

deltaxml-docbook.lic
CODE

XML Compare REST

deltaxml-compare-rest.lic
CODE

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

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

General Merge

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

DITA Compare

java -jar deltaxml-dita.jar
CODE

DITA Merge

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

DocBook Compare

java -jar deltaxml-docbook.jar
CODE

XML Compare REST

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

*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)
