To obtain and configure a node-locked license file (.lic):

1. Launch InstallAnywhere. Before the product starts, the licensing wizard opens.

2. Select the Specify license information option and then click the Next button

3. On the License Type dialog, select the Node-locked license option

4. On the Host ID dialog, click the Get a license file from the Product and License Center button. Clicking this button opens a Web page that has a link to the Product and License Center. Click that link and then sign in to the Product and License Center. Tip: If you do not have an Internet connection on the machine on which you are installing the Standalone Build, sign in to the Product and License Center on a machine that does have an Internet connection.

5. In the left navigation, under Entitlements, click Product List. The Product List page shows each product line to which your account is entitled. If you do not have access to multiple products, clicking the Product List link opens the Product Information page directly.

6. If the Product List page shows multiple products, click the InstallAnywhere link. The Product Information page opens.

7. Click the Licenses link to the right of the product that you are installing and configuring. The License Information page opens. This page shows details about the used and unused licenses of the product.

8. Find an unused license in the list and check the checkbox next to License Type that pertains to that license.

9. At the bottom of the page, click the Generate button. The Generate Licenses page opens.

10. In the Node Host ID box for the license, enter the host ID that pertains to the specific machine on which you are installing InstallAnywhere. The host ID is displayed on the Host ID dialog of the InstallAnywhere installation.

11. Click the Generate button. The View Licenses page opens.

12. Click the Save All button. The Product and License Center displays a dialog box that lets you specify the location where you want to download the license file.

13. Specify a location that is accessible by the machine on which you are installing the product. The Product and License Center downloads the .lic file or files to the location that you specified. The file is named HostID.lic, where HostID is the host ID that you specified when you obtained the .lic file. You can change the name of this file if it makes it easier to manage it.

14. Return to the Host ID dialog in InstallAnywhere licensing wizard, and click the Next button. The Browse for File dialog opens.

15. In the License file (.lic) box, enter the path for the .lic file that you want to use on the current machine, or click the Browse button to navigate to the file.

16. Complete the remaining dialogs in the wizard. The wizard copies the .lic file that you specified to the InstallAnywhere folder and names it License.lic.
