Notes
  • To install the license, you must have write permissions on the ITT product license directory.
  • Installing the license information with the license wizard will overwrite information previously entered. If needed, copy the old license.dat file information to a backup file before proceding.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR IDL 8.0, ENVI 4.8, ENVI EX 4.8

When you receive your license file information:
  1. Start the licensing wizard.

    Windows:
    Click Start > Programs > [ IDL 8.0 -or- ENVI 4.8 ] > Tools > License Wizard.

    Mac OS X:
    Use the Apple Finder to navigate to the ITT-DIR/idl/idl80 folder, where ITT-DIR is the installation location for your ITT Visual Information Solutions software (the default is /Applications/itt). In the ITT-DIR/idl/idl80 folder, double-click the License Wizard icon to launch the wizard.

    Linux and Solaris:
    Open an X-terminal shell window and navigate to the ITT-DIR/idl/idl80/bin folder, where ITT-DIR is the installation location for your ITT Visual Information Solutions software (the default ITT-DIR location is /usr/local/itt). Next, set up your shell environment for IDL and then launch the license wizard. For example:

    • For Bash shell:
        cd /usr/local/itt/idl/idl80/bin
        . ./idl_setup.bash
        ./ittlicense
    • For C shell:
        cd /usr/local/itt/idl/idl80/bin
        source ./idl_setup
        ./ittlicense
  2. Select the radio button that corresponds to "Install a license you have received" and click next.

    licwiz1
  3. Select the Activated license option (instead of Evaluation license).
  4. Enter the license information.

    1. If you received your license.dat file information as a text file attachment, save the attached file to a convinient location on your hard drive. Then in the License Wizard, click on the "Browse to import license file..." button. Browse to and select the license file information that you saved to your machine. This will import the license information to your IDL installation.
    2. Or, if you received your license.dat file information only as inline text as part of an email message, create a plain text file named "license.dat", copy and paste the license.dat information into the file, then save the file. In the License Wizard, click on the "Browse to import license file..." button. Browse to and select the license file information that you saved to your machine. This will import the license information to your IDL installation.

Additional steps are required to configure licenses that uses the FLEXnet license manager service. License files of this type include a line beginning with "SERVER", for example:
