Follow the e-mail instructions to apply the license key to FM. SH wrote: This is a quote of step 3 from those instructions: 3. Enter the following in fmaddlicense: Add registration_number user_name where registration_number is the registration number included with these instructions, and user_name is your user name, or the name of the user who will own the license. The fmaddlicense program checks that you entered the registration number correctly and then records the information in the licenses file. Richard Flemming disagrees with step 3 procedure: Hopefully this message will solve most of the problems found here? The licensing problem for me came from the misleading installation details on the license email. I followed it to the letter, and no license could be found......just splash, etc., and user: ashes here's the cure: 1) mkdir fminit 2)$FMHOME/bin/fmaddlicense $HOME/fminit/licenses 3)"Please enter Company name or Site name for the license file:" Now assign a name for the file....Any name....it does not matter!! This is the missing step. Do not do type "Add registration_number user_name". 5)Now that you have assigned a file name you can create the license by: Add registration_number user_name 6) Done!!!!!! Type maker. N.b. Make sure that portmap daemon is started. Lastly, for some unknown reason, adobe framemaker does not support 16bbp? Why adobe? Some on my applications only work using 16bpp, so I have to constantly change color depth.(SH:8 or 24) SH wrote: So Richard Flemming recommends naming the file before Add registration_number user_name It seems odd that only some people need to do this but it may be worth trying.(include network services) Root Stephen ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@omsys.com ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. **
