Manually checking host ID and submitting license request

If your SoftJACE PC does not have Internet connectivity, you can use the following two procedures to determine your SoftJACE host ID, then manually submit a license request. In this case, when you submit the license request (from another PC that does have Internet connectivity), you supply the host ID of your SoftJACE PC, along with your license key, item number, and contact information.

To determine your host ID

At the SoftJACE PC, do the following to determine its Niagara host ID:

From the Windows Start menu, click Programs->AX SoftJACE->Console

The Niagara Command Line console window appears.
At the prompt, enter: nre -hostid

The host ID displays, for example: WinSJ-37B9-D3CC-8846-5B2F.
Carefully record the host ID string, and then close the console window.

To manually submit a license request

From another PC with Internet connectivity, do the following to manually submit a SoftJACE license request:

Open a browser and enter the following URL:

http://axlicensing.tridium.com/license/request

A blank Bind License form appears, similar to that shown in Figure 7.
Alternatively, from your Workbench PC with Internet connectivity, from the Workbench menu bar you can select Tools->License Request Form. This launches your default browser with the same Bind License form. However, in this case note that the host ID of your Workbench PC is populated in the Host ID field. Be sure to clear it before entering the newly calculated host ID of the SoftJACE!
In the form, enter your SoftJACE host ID, along with the license key. Also enter your name, company, and email address.
After completing the form (double-check your host ID and license key), click Submit.

The licensing server searches for a matching license key, and when found binds and finalizes the license. A License Binding Successful message appears in the browser. Your license is now available from the licensing server when commissioning the SoftJACE, and it is also emailed to you as a license file.
