EasyLicenser Redistribution Toolkit - README
============================================

Purpose
-------
You as an end customer received this toolkit from your
product vendor for the purpose of managing your licensing 
environment.

Installation
------------
Unzip the zip file at any convenient location using any
available unzipping utility including Winzip, "unzip" and
Java "jar" (available with JDK distributions of Java). 
It is recommended that you create a "ezlic2.5" directory and
unzip the file under this directory.

Tools
-----

1. "get machine information"

    Purpose:

        Use this utility to obtain node locking information
        for your product vendor who will use it to generate a 
        license key as part of the order fulfillment process.
        The same node locking information applies irrespective
        of the type of application for which it is being used.

    Invocation:

        Run the utility on the machine on which you will be
        installing the license key that your product vendor 
        will be providing you.

        There are two ways to run the utility:
        (a) Directly with the Java runtime:
            While positioned at the installation directory,
            invoke the utility with the following command line,
            specifying "-h" or "-u" as a parameter according
            to instructions from your ISV (illustrated with
            "-u"):

            java -jar ezlicmgrmcinfo25.jar -u > mcinfo.txt

        (b) Using the command line wrapper -
            "ezlicmgrmcinfo.sh" (Unix / Linux) /
            "ezlicmgrmcinfo.bat" (Windows).
            The same parameters apply as above.  For the
            above example, and for Windows, the command line
            invocation would be:

            ezlicmgrmcinfo.bat -u > mcinfo.txt

        Ensure the integrity of the text contained in the
        output file "mcinfo.txt" and then send the file or its
        content to your product vendor.  The text should be
        either a string representing your machine name, or
        a string having a syntax similar to
        "username@machinename".

2. "get system information"

    Purpose:

        If the protected product is implemented in Java and you
        are having issues with launching or running the program, 
        your vendor may ask you to use this utility to introspect 
        your Java runtime environment for diagnostic purposes.

    Invocation:

        Open a command window and position to the "util" 
        subdirectory, then execute the command:

        java -classpath . sysinfo > sysinfo.txt

        Email the "sysinfo.txt" file to your vendor.
