Summary
Is install_fnp.sh the UNIX equivalent to Windows' installanchorservice.exe?Question
According to the Trusted Storage-based Programming Reference: "For Mac OSX and Unix platforms the product installer must run the install_fnp.sh script to install the licensing service." Is this the equivalent to installanchorservice.exe?
Answer
The step on UNIX is equivalent to using our example installanchorservice.exe on Windows. Trusted storage is setup differently on the different architectures, so the setup utilities are significantly different. On Windows, before trusted storage is created or accessed, the Licensing service must be installed; we provide installanchorservice.exe as an example application.
On UNIX hosts, before trusted storage is accessed, its directory structure must be initialized. In addition, on Mac OS and Linux platforms, the FLEXnet Licensing Service?an administrative proxy that runs on behalf of the user for interactions to and from trusted storage?needs to be installed. We provide platform-specific install_fnp.sh files with each trusted storage toolkit specifically to meet the requirements necessary for trusted storage to work on that system.
