Putting the license key in the installer w/ wix and RDC

Post Author: dblock
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I am rewriting an old installer in wix (wix.sourceforge.net). The installer deployed RDC "by hand", where they picked the files and stuck them into the InstallShield installer. I got the merge modules instead. The readme for the merge modules says:
license.msm - This merge module is used to apply the license keycode during installation. It exposes a custom property called License Key which must be populated with the keycode found on the Crystal Reports 9 CD envelope. This merge module is always required. 
What does this mean? Do I just create a property called License Key and put the key in there? Has anyone done this with wix?

Hello Anubha,
Thank you for getting back to me. The customer has a larger issue than the serial number, he is missing updates and the .Net Framework would not install in order to apply the updates. We will try a new approach to resolve the issue. You can archive this case.

  • Looking for the parameter/command line to supply the license key during the installation of Adobe Captive CS6 application.

    Hello - We are performing customize installation for Captive CS6 with the help of AAMEE tool. We have couple of licenses which we wish to supply over the installation command line during deployment. However we did not find any parameter or the command line which will allow us to enter the license key during installation.  Has any one succeed in finding the command line where we can pass the license key during installation of this application?
    Thanks.

    Can you post the last bit of your log file?  100 or so lines should be plenty to see what's going wrong.

  • Can I download and activate software but use the license key on the box?

    I purchased a new laptop. It has no DVD or CD-ROM drive. I purchased Photoshop CS3 and Acrobat Pro8 with my old laptop. Can I download the software from the Adobe site and activate it with the software key on the box?

    The serial number should put an end to the trial period.  If it is still presenting it as a trial, select whichever option is presented for using a serial number / key to activate it and that should alleviate the issue.
    If you should have an issue getting it to activate, contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone.
    Here are some links to help make contact:

  • LR5 KEEPS asking me for the license key

    I have installed Lightroom 5 on my Mac (OS X 10.9.5).  I have installed both via disk and via download.  It says installation is complete.  When I go to open LR5 it asks me for the license key and says that license key is good.  Problem is that it asks me for the license key EVERY time I open LR5 and after I enter it and hit finish it closes LR5.  I cannot get past this.  I have un-installed, restarted my computer and re-installed about a dozen times with the same result.  Any ideas?

  • ASA 5505 Failure replaced and need to move the license key?

    Can someone point me in the right direction? My ASA 5505 died due to a power surge and I swapped it with a spare. I had Security Plus and a 50 user license and need to move the license keys from the failed ASA 5505 to the new one. I kept both my emails with the activation keys, but not sure how I get this transferred?  Thanks in advance.
    Joe

    I think this is totally unacceptable. For anyone else who uses a 5505 at home and has bought licenses and the hardware out of their own pocket, the idea here should be that you've already bought the hardware and the license. Seems obvious, right?
    Yes I can see the license being device specific if not only because that's the way you've designed your licensing activation schema; but if I've just had your product fail and bought another replacement, there should be an understanding or agreement between Cisco and the user that we can reinstate any licenses we've already bought.
    Do you really believe it's fair to make someone buy something from you twice, something that they've already bought from you? Do you actually believe that? I believe that the people in the Cisco Licensing department would agree with my viewpoint and I have a pending case with them for this issue right now. I will post my result here.
    Make your products last and perhaps I can give credence to your licensing beliefs, until then your products fail and so does your licensing logic.

  • Computer crashed, had to move programs to new hard drive, now Lightroom wants a serial number to open and I can only find the license key I was given upon purchasing it.

    My computer crashed and now when I try to open Lightroom it's asking me for a serial number. I purchased this program off of Amazon and I can only find the License Key # in the e-mails they sent me. How can I retrieve my serial number?

  • Where do you find the license keys?

    Hello,
    I need to find the license keys for Dreamweaver installed on my users computers. Can you point me in the right direction? I looked in help- About Dreamweaver. I retrieved the credit list.
    These are CS6 licenses not Creative Cloud.
    Thanks,
    Tammy

    I logged in and viewed all registered products. We've uninstalled these license as employees have left and installed them on new employee work stations. I am trying to find out if we can see the license key on the end user's work station. It's a reconciliation project as we need to track the license keys more closely.
    Any other thoughts?
    Thanks!

  • Installing Sybase SQL Anywhere license keys after initial installation.

    Hi,
    I installed Sybase SQL Anywhere 16 before I actually received the valid License Key. So during the installation I've used the license key provided by the instructions.  Afterwards, I've received the purchase license key.  Do i need to reinstall SQL Anywhere all over?  Or can it just continue to function on that license key?  From what i understand, I can not change the license key after the installation was complete.  I would have to completely uninstall and re-install SQL Anywhere 16. Is that correct?
    Thanks
    Aron

    Hi Aron,
    I would have to completely uninstall and re-install SQL Anywhere 16. Is that correct?
    No, you don't have to do this in SQL Anywhere 16 - you can change SQL Anywhere editions by changing the license key on the accompanying server executable license file (e.g. dbsrv16.lic) with the Server Licensing Utility (dblic). You can use the "-k" switch in order to specify a new key:
    dblic -k <reg_key> dbsrv16.lic

  • Change the license key for BOXI3.1 after installation

    Are there problems if i change the license key for BOXI3.1 after installation?
    (Not performing a upgrade from trial version)
    Or do i have to do a re-installation instead?

    Hi,
    Sure you can change the license key, without re-doing a complete install of BO XI. Just go to CMC->Lisence Keys, and add your new product key.
    Then you 'll see bellow, the new information about u key (CPU/Date limitation).

    I have changed the keydb.xml and changed the profiles for scs port from 3901 to a different one and still getting the same error.Any advice or suggestions?

    HI,
    Try couple of thing
    1) DB is up or not
    2) Port 39xx is free or not
    Also you can  Try to restart the installation after checking....I feels this is due to corrupted cache and something , may be waiting for other answer will help you.
    Other wise re-installation you can try.

  • I have PSE7 on my old computer and I have the license key (but not the serial number). Cannot register it on my new computer - I get a message saying that number is invalid. What can I do?

    I have PSE7 on my old computer and I have the license key (but not the serial number). Cannot register it on my new computer - I get a message saying that number is invalid. What can I do?

    It does not magically appear in a new place.  It will only be where you put it.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Do we have a way to pull the license key from each Oracle Instance?

    Dear all Oracle Experts,
    I don't remember having to put the license key whenever I create the oracle instance. But is there away to pull it from the instance?

    The difference between oracle software and other software such as microsoft, is that you don't need a license key to use the software, it is already open and fully functional. Oracle assumes customers will use the software they are allowed to use according to the license agreement. Customers would not be happy to have a lawsuit on their desktops due to improperly using copyrighted material.

  • SOS! The database does not start and the license key can not be installed.

    Hi,
    I have installed the SAP Netweaver 200s testdrive on linux x86-64. I have got the hardware key and requested a license key. I have received an E-mail with the license key (N4S.txt) attached.
    Unfortunately, I am not able to active the installation with this license.
    I always get the error: "open of N4S.txt failed: No such file or directory"
    I have renamed the license as N4S.rpm but it still not working.
    Furthermore, I could not start the database in the previous step. I have got the error: Database failed to start.
    Does anyone already have the same errors? Your help will be so greatful.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    yesterday, I have tried your propositions but nothing doesn´t change.
    @Joe

    I do it but I did not see any error.

    "you mentioned, that you are not able to start the database. Unfortunately, your error message
    does not give us any details of what happened"
    I follow the Installation´s help file of SAP, I didn´t have any error before this step of the Installation (Start the Database: entering the command startdb).
    1) did the installation finish successfully?
    Until the request of the License key, the installation goes without errors.
    2) logon as n4sadm (su - n4sadm) and execute: startsap n4shost
    What is the output?
    "No start profiles found"
    3) check /home/n4sadm/startdb.log (or any other start*log files there)
    This is the content of the startdb.log file:

  • Entering the license key

    I purchased the Lightroom Mac 5 Version (DVD) but after installation I was not able to enter the license key. How I can do this....

    Licencekey wrote:
    on the dvd cover there is an serial number which should be the proof of the purchased license. When I start LR I get the information that I'm using the 30-day test version but I've purchased the product. When I log in to the adobe cloud I only can purchase (again?) an subscription but I want to use the one time license which I already bought.
    Nowhere do you state that you are entering the serial number, nor do you state what happens when you try to enter the serial number, which I believe is the question at hand.
