EASA is a licensed software product that requires a valid license key to be installed on an EASA Server before it will become fully functional. When first installed, EASA will have a 30-day automatic license, purchase and install a license to run EASA beyond this 30-day period.

Follow the instructions below to request a key.

If the computer running the EASA Server is unable to send e-mail from the web browser, then the Email License Request button will not work. In this case issue a license key request manually: copy the Server id and Customer Code information into an e-mail message on another computer that is e-mail enabled and send the message to licenses@easasoftware.com.

• Log on to any valid EASA client computer as any user.
• Open up a web browser and type in the case-sensitive EASA web address as either:

http://<domain_name>/easa
http://<domain_name>:<port_number>/easa

Where <domain_name> is the domain name of EASA and <port_number> is the port number entered during installation. If no domain name was explicitly specified during installation, then it defaults to the computer name of the EASA Server. If no port number was entered during installation, use the first web address shown above. The EASA Introduction page should appear in the browser window.

• Now select EASA→Log In tab. Enter:
  • User name→admin
  • Password→admin
• Select EASA→Licensing→Request License
• On the Request License form that next appears:
  • fill in the Customer Code in the cover letter accompanying the EASA shipment.

If the inputs are confusing, please contact an EASA support office for assistance in determining the correct input.

• After filling in the form:
  • click on the Email License Request button to complete the request.

A license key will usually be e-mailed back within one working day.

The EASA license key is contained within a file called license.ccl. By default, this file is sent via e-mail. Upon receipt the license.ccl file, save the file locally and follow the installation instructions below:

• Log on to any valid EASA client computer as any user.
• Open up a web browser and type in the case-sensitive EASA web address as follows, either:

 http://<domain_name>/easa
 http://<domain_name>:<port_number>/easa

Complete <domain_name> with the domain name of EASA and <port_number> with the port number entered during installation. If no domain name was explicitly specified during installation, then it defaults to the computer name of the EASA Server. If no port number was entered during installation, use the first web address shown above. The EASA Introduction page should appear in the browser window.

• Select EASA→Log In and set:
  • User name→admin
  • Password→admin

• Select EASA→Licensing→Install License.
• On the Install License page that appears, select the 'license.ccl ' file delivered in response to a license request by clicking on the Browse button, locating the file and then clicking on Open.

The EASA license file must be named 'license.ccl'.

• Finally, click Install.

The license key will be installed. Confirm that it is working properly on the Check License page below. The EASA installation is now operational including a valid license key. Complete a final test on the EASA system as described at the Testing EASA Client Applications page.

To check on the status of the current EASA license follow the instructions provided below:

• Log on to any valid EASA client computer as any user.
• Open up a web browser and connect to the EASA web address.
• Select EASA→Log In and set:
  • User name→admin
  • Password→admin
• Next select:
  • EASA→Administrator→Licensing→Check License

A table should appear similar to the one shown above. If the numbers in the Total Allowed column of the Check License table are not as expected, please contact a designated EASA support office for further explanation.
