Activate the License
If you provided license keys during the installation, on Windows, you should skip reading this chapter.
isCOBOL Compiler and Runtime included in the IDE look for the following configuration properties for license keys:
iscobol.compiler.license.2021=<license_key> iscobol.license.2021=<license_key> |
The keys should be stored in one of the following files (if they exist):
Windows
1. \etc\iscobol.properties in the drive where the working directory is
2. C:\Users\<username>\iscobol.properties (the setup wizard saves licenses here, if you don’t skip activation)
3. iscobol.properties found in the Java Classpath
4. %ISCOBOL%\iscobol.properties
5. a custom configuration file passed on the command line
Unix/Linux
1. /etc/iscobol.properties
2. $HOME/iscobol.properties
3. iscobol.properties found in the Java Classpath
4. $ISCOBOL/iscobol.properties
5. a custom configuration file passed on the command line
NOTE - Files are listed in the order they’re processed. If the license key appears in more than one of the above files, then the last occurrence is considered.
