Problem:

Release: 4.0

How to setup Application Server for Net Express at client site?

Resolution:

Install from cd by running setup.exe in application server folder.

Also, you can manually copy the runtime folder to the deployment machine and create the license database folder see below.

Note: If  not installing from the cd (manually copy runtime folder to deployment machine),  then there is the need  to update the path to where the runtime files are located. Please  make sure that where the deployment of the application is also on the path and may need to be on the cobdir.

If your customers have already tried to setup their license database without success.  If this is the case tell them to go into the registry and delete the Micro Focus folder that can be found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software\\Micro Focus\\ASLMF

The hkey_local_machine\\software\\micro focus should not be deleted just the ASLMF folder

On one machine you will install Application Server for Net Express 4.0

Apply the latest Service Pack.

The defaults when you install are c:\\mfaslmf for the license database and

C:\\Program Files\\Micro Focus\\Applciation Server for the runtime files.

  Note: On some operating systems the spacey folder names can be a problem,

            So you may want to install runtime into a foldername like C:\\NE40APS

    

In the runtime folder you will use the following exes' to setup license database

Apptrack.exe

Aslmpclocate.exe

Aslmpcsilent.exe

Create a new directory or subdirectory  under your application's directory  for the license database, for example c:\\MFASLMF  and copy the following files;

Prodfile.

Semfile.

From a command prompt go to your application directory or execute a BAT file from that directory that will have the following commands

aslmpclocate MyDrive:\\MySP1Application\\mfaslmf

aslmpcsilent 1 MySerialNumber MyLicenseNumber

For example

Aslmpcsilent 1 NXDEVAS5 01280 10780 05C04 D5E09 55C0

You will then be able to execute your EXE.

You can check the license database by running apptrack.exe  and list the licenses.
