Since there is no license key for the bundled libraries (EnhancementPak and ViewKit), installing the license key for a purchased version of BX PRO can be easier than an evaluation version. Once you've installed the key for BX PRO, you're immediately operational. Before you start your installation, request your license key by visiting: BROKEN PAGE.

License key installation varies slightly depending on whether you are installing a Linux single user, a Linux server license, or a UNIX version of BX PRO:

1. Linux (single user): If you are the only user of the license, the installation of a permament license key for Linux is exactly the same process as that of the evaluation version. Start BX up and copy/paste key you received via email. If you have any questions, please review the prior section.
2. Linux (server install) You can share a license of BX PRO installed on a server among multiple users providing you do not have more simultaneous users than you have licenses. The recommended procedure in this case is to install a license in a common directory that is readable by all users and then have each user set the environment variable ICS_LICENSE_FILE to that directory (perhaps in their shell startup file.) If you have any questions, please review the question How can I put the license file somewhere else?.
3. UNIX: To receive the full benefit of the floating license for BX PRO, you will need to install the FlexLM license server. Please read Appendix C of the BX Reference Manual. This information is also available at: http://www.ics.com/files/docs/bx/6/BX60RefManual.pdf.

NOTE: It is important that you install BX PRO from the distribution media you received as the result of your purchase. The evaluation versions of BX PRO have a variety of limitations, the most obvious of which is that EPak and ViewKit require a license key. Simply delete the BX PRO home directory (typically under /opt) and reinstall the production version of BX PRO.
