Activation Pro Setup

Setting up RLM Activation Pro involves setting up a web server with PHP and MySQL support, as well as the RLM Activation Pro software. Ideally, you should be familiar with downloading and installing open-source tools and using Web infrastructure. The instructions for installing and configuring RLM Activation Pro are in Installing Activation Pro on your own servers.

However, you do not need to do any of that. You can evaluate RLM Activation Pro using a system hosted on Reprise servers. If you do, ignore this chapter, and go straight to Using RLM Activation Pro, below, once you get the login credentials from your Reprise Salesperson. If you want to evaluate Activation Pro on your own servers, do the installation specified in Installing Activation Pro on your own servers on your own servers, then come back here to configure the system.

Configure RLM Activation Pro

1. Build your License Generator Settings file

  • Change directory to your RLM development kit directory.

  • Run “rlmsign -gen”.

  • Copy the resulting .gen file (typically demo.gen for an evaluation) to your ActPro kit into the “actpro_setup” directory.

2. Install the RLM Activation Pro files on your web server

(Skip this step if you are using the demo on Reprise servers)

  • FTP the contents of the actpro_setup directory to your web server.

3. Run the Activation Pro setup program

(Skip this step if you are using the demo on Reprise servers)

  • On Windows: Run the XAMPP control panel. Start the Apache and MySQL services. On Linux, this happened as part of installation.

  • Point your browser (Firefox recommended) to: http://localhost/actpro_setup/setup.php

  • The defaults in the form should be correct, so press “Setup activation database”. Do not change the admin account password.
