4.4. Installing Java JDK

To use JEUS, the Java 2 JDK(Java SE Development Kit) must be installed.

Java TM 2 JDK 6 Standard Edition can be downloaded from the following link.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html

For more information, refer to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/install-142943.html. JFor detailed information about how to install JDK on each platform, refer to "Appendix A. Installing JDK".

Verify that the JDK is installed before installing JEUS. After installing the JDK, add the JDK's bin directory to the environment variable PATH on Windows.

4.5. JEUS Licensing

A license key issued by TmaxSoft is required to use JEUS. A trial license is included with the version of JEUS installed by the installer by default. The license file is named 'license' and is in the 'JEUS_HOME/license' directory.

There are two license editions: Standard and Enterprise. They each have different features and license period.

To upgrade a license or to purchase a full license, contact a TmaxSoft sales representative or TmaxSoft directly. To use a license file, copy it to the 'JEUS_HOME/license' directory with the name of 'license'.

Note

If the license file is not named 'license', rename it as 'license'.
