Installing OfficeWriter
on the Java™ Platform
|
 |
|
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
| 1. |
From the command
prompt, move to the directory that contains OfficeWriter-Installer-3.x.x.jar |
| 2. |
Enter:
java -jar OfficeWriter-Installer-3.x.x.jar |
| 3. |
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. |
| 4. |
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
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
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.
