What kind of JClass ServerViews licenses are there?
Licensing for JClass ServerViews is broken into three categories: evaluation, development and production. In all three cases you will use a license in combination with the license wizard to install the product.
The three basic steps for licensing a server side product are outlined below.
1. You will receive a file with the extension .license from us via email. This license can be requested via

2. Once you receive the .license file you will use the license wizard to process the license. This will produce a file with a .licenses extension.
3. You will need to ensure that the .licenses file is picked up in your classpath. There are two basic ways to do this. The .licenses file can be placed inside the JClass .jar/.war files used by your classpath. The license wizard will ask you if you wish to do this. You can also do so manually, or you can specifically reference the directory containing the .licenses file from your classpath. If you do this you will also need to reference the required .jar/.war files in your classpath.
If you change from one license type to another it is very important to verify that the .jar and .war files you are using for evaluation/development/production are being correctly referenced. This normally involves checking your classpath, IDE preferences and application server settings to ensure that there are no references to old product versions.
Please note that JClass ServerViews is licensed on a node locked basis. This means that each license is keyed to the hostname and cpu count of the physical machine. Any change to the hostname or cpu count of a machine will cause the license validation process to fail. License validation of products occurs during compilation and runtime.
Also there are new static methods in JClass (version 4.0 and later) help you troubleshoot your licensing issues:
JCServerChart.printLicenseTrace() and JCDocument.printLicenseTrace() methods print licensing information about of your environment and licenses that you use.
