Submitting a license request

If your SoftJACE PC has Internet connectivity, and you have your license key (Figure 3), after installing the software you can submit a “Bind License” form to the licensing server. This can immediately “finalize” (bind) your unbound license file, whereby you can automatically retrieve it when commissioning the SoftJACE, as well as have it emailed to you.

NoteIf the SoftJACE PC does not have Internet connectivity, see Manually checking host ID and submitting license request.

To submit a SoftJACE license request

At the SoftJACE PC, do the following

  1. From the Windows Start menu, click Programs->AX SoftJACE->Console

    The Niagara Command Line console window appears.

  2. At the command prompt, enter: wb

    A series of license related popup dialogs occur.



  3. Within a few seconds, a Bind License form appears in the default browser, in which the Niagara-calculated host id for the SoftJACE is already entered. See Figure 7 for an example.

  4. In the form, enter your license key. Also enter your name, company, and email address.

  5. After completing the form (double-check your license key), click Submit.

    The licensing server searches for a matching license key, and when found binds and finalizes the license. A License Binding Successful message appears in the browser.

    Your license is now available from the licensing server when commissioning the SoftJACE, and it is also emailed to you as a license file attachment.
