Installing OfficeWriter on the Java Platform
divider

OfficeWriter is distributed as a self-extracting JAR file.
The JAR file requires a working Java 1.2 or higher Java™ Runtime Engine (JRE) or SDK.

 
 
Installing OfficeWriter:
divider
bullet From the command prompt, move to the directory that contains OfficeWriter-Installer-3.x.x.jar
bullet Enter: java -jar OfficeWriter-Installer-3.x.x.jar
  The installer will display the license agreement, prompt for a license key, and extract the files to a subdirectory named OfficeWriter-3.x.x under the current directory. This directory can be moved to any location on your filesystem.
bullet To make OfficeWriter available to all applications on your application server, copy ExcelWriter-6.x.x.jar, WordWriter-3.x.x.jar, ExcelWriter-v6-License.jar, and WordWriter-v3-License.jar to the application server's shared context (for example, $Server/shared/lib/). To make OfficeWriter available to a single application, copy the files to the application's WEB-INF/lib/ directory or include it in your classpath when compiling or running. Please note that for standalone applications you will need to include the J2EE™ Servlet APIs; these can be found from j2ee.jar in Sun's J2EE™ package, or packaged in many application servers as servlet-api.jar.
 
 
Entering & Updating Your License Key:
divider

During the installation process you will be asked to enter the OfficeWriter license key that you received with your order confirmation. Depending on which license key is entered during installation (or updated later with the license utility), different functionality will be unlocked for the product. If you leave the key field blank during installation, you will get the free edition of OfficeWriter.

If you received two keys - one for ExcelWriter and one for WordWriter - enter either during the installation process. After installing, run the license utility to add the second key. To run the license utility, do one of the following:

 
1. If the graphical environment is configured to execute JAR files with javaw -jar, you can double-click WordWriter-3.x.x.jar or ExcelWriter-6.x.x to execute the graphical license utility.
  or
2. From the command line, run the command:
  java -jar Product.jar -g
to open the graphical license utility

or

java -jar Product.jar -u
to open the command line license utility
 
When you update a license key, the application server must be restarted before the new license will take effect.
 
 

Removing OfficeWriter:

divider
To remove the program, simply delete the OfficeWriter-3.x.x directory. Note that this will not remove copies of ExcelWriter-6.x.x.jar, ExcelWriter-v6-License.jar, WordWriter-3.x.x.jar, and WordWriter-v3-License.jar that you have made elsewhere in the system, such as an application server's lib directory.
