FirstClass License Generator
Overview
The FirstClass License Generator is an application used to generate a license file that will encode and transfer the Batch Administration password. It can be run as a GUI application or as a simple command line tool.
GUI mode
To run the application in GUI mode:
1 Run the GenLic.exe application.
You will be prompted for the Batch Admin password.
2 Enter the batch admin password when prompted.
This password can be found on the Multi-Site Setup form on the FirstClass server. The only restriction on this field is that it cannot be blank.
3 Enter the password again when prompted to confirm the password.
4 Save the file as license.cmi.
You can also specify the folder where this file will be located.
Note
The filename must be license.cmi when used for batch admin purposes.
Command line mode
1 Open a command prompt and navigate to the path where the GenLic.exe file is located.
2 Enter
genlic password filename
where
password is the batch admin password found on the Multi-Site Setup form on the FirstClass server.
filename is the name you are assigning to the file. It is an optional field. If omitted, the default name, License.cmi, will be used.
The file will be stored in the same location as the GenLic.exe application.
Note
The filename must be license.cmi when used for batch admin purposes.
3 Press Enter.
After you have generated a license.cmi file, you must distribute it to your users. The easiest way to do this is:
1 Create a new FirstClass message.
2 Attach the newly generated license file as an attachment.
3 Send the message to all FirstClass users who will be running FirstClass Migrator for Microsoft Outlook.
You can also put this file in the same directory as their FirstClass Migrator for Microsoft Outlook applications.
When the application runs, it will check the FirstClass Mailbox for the license.cmi file. If the file is not found, it will check its own directory for the file. If it still doesn't find the file, it will use the default batch admin password "admin".
