The PMDF installation procedure will ask you to enter in your PMDF licenses, which you should have received when you licensed PMDF. If you are upgrading PMDF, you should check that you have PMDF licenses valid for the new version. You will need a PMDF-MTA-NT license, plus licenses for whatever additional PMDF layered products you will be using, e.g., PMDF-LAN-NT; note that such layered products can only be licensed and installed on a system already licensed for PMDF-MTA.
Note that PMDF license information is stored in files with names of the
form product-name.license, located in the PMDF
table directory. You will have a separate license file for each PMDF
product you have licensed for the system in question. For instance, a
PMDF-MTA license would be stored in a file named
C:\pmdf\table\PMDF-MTA-NT.license (if you have PMDF
installed on the C: drive); a PMDF-MSGSTORE license would
be stored in a file named
C:\pmdf\table\PMDF-MSGSTORE-NT.license. A PMDF license
file has the format:
Issuer:Innosoft Authorization Number:auth-number Product Name:product-name Producer:Innosoft Product Release Date:release-date Product Token:token Checksum:checksumwhere
auth-number, token,
release-date, and checksum
are specific to your PMDF license, and where
product-name is a product name such as
PMDF-MTA-NT, PMDF-DIRSYNC-NT, PMDF-LAN-NT, PMDF-POPSTORE-NT,
PMDF-MSGSTORE-NT, PMDF-XGS-NT, or PMDF-TLS-NT.
For an update installation of PMDF, check that the release date for each product, i.e., the value on the fifth line of the file, is later than the release date of the current version of each PMDF product you wish to install. PMDF licenses allow operation of PMDF software released before the license release date. New PMDF product licenses are issued when your maintenance contract is renewed, not when new versions of software are released.
