Automatic activation
At installations of several clients we suggest the automatic activation. For this you have got different possibilities.
For this just copy the license file psr6.lic to the installation directory of PASSWORD SAFE. At the start the license is then found and used automatically.
Notice: Since Password Safe writes the names of the single computers into the license file, it is necessary that all users have got writing access to the file psr6.lic. In the standard installation folders (e.g.: C:/programs/) there is no writing access. |
There is the possibility to make the license file available in a network share. In order that the clients can find the file, it is pointed out per environment variable PSR_LICENCE_FILE. Enter the complete path including file name here. Then the license file is loaded from that place.
How to configure the Windows environment variables:
- Open the system properties (Advanced system settings)
- Click on „environment variables…“ (below)
- Configure the necessary variable in the next step. Click on “new” to start the variable.
If the license file lies on a network share it can also be pointed to it via an adaption of the configuration file. That makes sense if you can distribute the configuration file to the individual clients per software distribution. You can find out in the chapter configuration file how to adapt the configuration file accordingly.
