The Activator utility automates the process of creating a license file. When you install Database Connectors, the Activator utility,
Windows: activator.exe
UNIX: activator
is installed for you in the installation directory by default. In some cases, you may receive the Activator executable file on a disk. Copy the file onto your computer and run it as you would any other executable file.
Windows: The last screen of the install has a check box for launching Activator.
Launch the Activator to enter a new or updated product code and key. Note that Activator is case-insensitive and displays only uppercase characters. Activator also ignores embedded spaces and separating characters. License codes and keys do not contain the letters “O” or “I”.
When you have entered your product codes and keys, Activator displays a dialog box that confirms whether license file activation was successful.
If license activation was successful, but you get a message during Database Connectors startup indicating that the license file cannot be found, the license file may not be in the proper directory.
UNIX: The license file must be in the directory in which Database Connectors is installed.
Windows: Activator determines where to place the license file based on entries in the Windows registry. If no registry entry is found, the license file is placed in the same directory as the Activator executable file.
