Install4j 5.1 - Floating license setup on a headle

问题:

I want to build our app on an Ubuntu server. Our setup programs are created with Install4j 5.1 and integrated in our maven build through the maven-install4j-plugin. The problem I have is that I can't initialize the license information to point to our floating license server (localhost:11862). To initialize the license, I use the following command :

install4jc --license=XXXXXXXXX

The problem is that I don't know the exact syntax to setup the license to a floating server. I've tried --license=localhost:11862 and I've tried to copy-paste my floating license key directly without success.

Where can I find basic instructions on how to setup my floating license infos on a headless system and above all, how to express it to stop receiving "Invalid Syntax Key" when executing install4jc?

回答1:

The syntax for using a floating license server is

install4jc --license=FLOAT:localhost:11862

If you have a Windows Edition license, you currently have to edit

$HOME/.install4j5/config.xml

and change floatingMultiPlatform="true" to floatingMultiPlatform="false" in that file.

From install4j 5.1.3 on, you will be able to pass the command line option --windows-edition instead of editing the config file and the FLOAT:server syntax is documented when running install4jc --help.
