Installing and activating PxPlus on Linux/Unix 1) Installing a (new) PxPlus product a) Use 'umask 0' to start with. b) Uncompress and untar the .tgz/.taz file in a directory of your choice (for example: /pxplus). mkdir /pxplus cd /pxplus tar -xvzf xxxxxxx.taz c) Start the PxPlus activation program by using its full pathname. /pxplus/pxpreg Now enter the temporary PxPLUS primary 25-digit activation key. If the machine has an internet connection, go to step d) else goto step h) d) You just need to start pxplus without a starting program on the command line. /pxplus/pxplus A message will appear that says that you are running an unregistered version of PxPlus (*). e) click/select YES to allow PxPlus to obtain all additional activation keys from the internet. f) Then restart PxPlus and enter PKG in console mode to check if everything activated correctly. (*) If no message appears, enter RUN "*plus/reg/net" in console mode, restart PxPlus and enter PKG in console mode to check if everything activated correctly. - end of activation procedure - h) If the machine does not have an internet connection, start the activation program again (/pxplus/pxpreg) and enter the temporary PxPLUS secondary key. The activation program will display the system id and machine class. You need to report those to the sales department in order to receive your permanent keys. These again must be entered by using the pxpreg program. i) First enter the permanent PxPLUS primary key, then the permanent PxPLUS secondary key. j) If you need to add ProvideX packages (these are in the range of 20000), start the pvxactv program if you have 16/17 digit keys - else start pxpreg if you have 25 digit keys and enter the packages and the keys. PxPlus packages are in the 10000 range. The keys are included and hidden in the 25-digit PxPLUS secondary activation key you received from us. - end of activation procedure - 2) Upgrading (and replacing) a ProvideX product with PxPlus a) Start with 'umask 0' b) Uncompress and untar the .tgz/.taz file in the directory where the previous ProvideX version was installed. (ie. /usr/pvx) Make sure your account has sufficient OS permissions to overwrite all old ProvideX programs/files. cd /usr/pvx tar -xvzf xxxxxxx.taz c) Please check the 'tar' output for errors. d) If the machine has an internet connection, you just need to start pxplus /usr/pvx/pxplus A message will appear that says that you are running an unregistered version of PxPlus. Click/select YES to allow PxPlus to obtain all additional activation keys from the internet. Then restart PxPlus and enter PKG in console mode to check if everything activated correctly. /usr/pvx/pxplus If no message appears, enter RUN "*plus/reg/net" in console mode, restart PxPlus and enter PKG in console mode to check if everything activated correctly. - end of activation procedure - e) If the machine has no internet connection, run the activation program and report the system id and machine class to the sales department in order to receive your permanent keys. Once received, enter the 25 digit PERMANENT PxPLUS primary activation key and then the permanent PxPLUS secondary key /usr/pvx/pxpreg - end of activation procedure - 3) The client workstations When using WindX, be sure to install a PxPlus WindX product (plugin or standalone) on every workstation. All shortcuts that start a WindX connection to the host (windx, *ntslave, *client and *plus/cs/client) need to be changed so that the new PxPlus WindX product is used.
