Licensing CORE

If you have any questions or need assistance at any point during the licensing process, please contact Vitech Customer Support at +1 540.951.3999 or support@vitechcorp.com.

General Instructions for Obtaining a License

The three steps for generating a license request are the same whether you are licensing a desktop copy of CORE, a CORE Server, or the Network License Manager:

1. 1. Generate a license request.
   2. Submit the license request to Vitech via a web form.
   3. Copy the license text received from Vitech into the Licensing Utility.

A Licensing Utility has been packaged with all CORE installations.  The procedure to launch the utility varies by product:

1. • CORE – During startup, CORE will search for a valid license. If no license is found, the license configuration screen will be displayed.
   • CORE Server – Click Start > All Programs > CORE 9 Server > Utilities > Licensing Utility.
   • CORE2net – Click Start > All Programs > CORE2net 9 > Utilities > Licensing Utility.
   • Network License Manager – Click Start > All Programs > CORE NLM 4.3.7 > Utilities > Licensing Utility.
   • The executable (LicenseUtil.exe) is installed in the base directory for all CORE products and can be manually launched from that location.

If multiple products are being licensed for the same machine, only a single license request needs to be generated and sent to Vitech. Vitech can use this request to generate the license files required for each product.

1. 1. When the Licensing Utility is launched, it will display the Configure Licensing dialog. To request a new license, select Request License File and click Proceed.
   2. In the Generate License Request dialog, enter your Company Name and Serial Number (the Machine ID is auto-populated).  Click Submit Online.
   3. The web form will submit the license request directly to Vitech’s Licensing Team. Vitech will generate a corresponding license and send you an email with your new license information.  
   4. When you receive the email response, launch the Licensing Utility again and select Apply License File, then click Proceed. Copy the information from the email and paste into the left side of the dialog.

Using the Enterprise License Mechanism

By using the Enterprise License Mechanism, you have chosen to license a single CORE Server to support a specified number of clients. The license is effective immediately.

Using Network Licensing Manager

By using the Network Licensing Manager (NLM), you have chosen to set up a group environment to allow users to share CORE licenses across your network. Restart the NLMv43 service after applying the license.  It becomes effective immediately.

Licensing CORE2net Web Server

The CORE2net Web Server is an add-on to CORE Server. The CORE Server must be installed and licensed before CORE2net is licensed.

After applying the license, the CORE2net web server must be restarted to read the new license.

1. Using the CORE2net Monitor in the Administrative Tools view of CORE, ensure that no users are currently logged into the CORE Server.

2. If CORE2net is currently running, select the Stop CORE2net Server command from the Administrative Tools > Admin menu in CORE.

3. Select the Start CORE2net Server command from the Administrative Tools > Admin menu in CORE.
