Applet Registration
The Display Viewer Applet requires a separate license key than the RTView applications to run on an application server. Without a key, the Display Viewer Applet will run for 20 minutes to facilitate testing. No key is required to run locally. See the Display Viewer Applet Registration section for information on licensing.

Application Registration
In order to register for a license, your system environment must be properly setup. If you have not already reviewed the Setup section please do so now. Following registration, we strongly suggest that before getting started you complete the Quick Start tutorial.

On Windows
You can start from either the Windows Start Menu or a Command Prompt. NOTE: For machines that are headless (i.e. without monitor, keyboard or mouse), use the –nogui option with the run_gmsregister script (i.e. run_gmsregister -nogui).
 

From the Windows Start Menu:
 

Start-->Programs-->RTView-->Registration

From a Command Prompt, go to your RTView installation directory:
 

	type rtv_init
	type run_gmsregister

On UNIX
From a UNIX terminal window, go to your RTView installation directory. NOTE: For machines that are headless (i.e. without monitor, keyboard or mouse), use the –nogui option with the run_gmsregister script (i.e. run_gmsregister -nogui). 
 

	csh	bsh
	type source rtv_init	type . ./rtv_init.ksh
	type run_gmsregister	type run_gmsregister

Registration Dialog
A Registration dialog will open that displays your PIN and prompts you to enter a license key. To request a key, contact SL Corporation at 800.548.6881 or 415.927.8400 or send an email to keys@sl.com with the Subject line RTView. Copy and paste your PIN into the email and in return you will receive a corresponding numeric key.

Copy and paste the key you receive into the Registration dialog.

For future access to your license key a file named KEYS will be stored in the lib directory, which is located in your installation directory. NOTE: Your license key enables you to run RTView applications on a single host.

For licensing systems that do not have a display, use the –nogui command line option  (run_gmsregister -nogui) to print the PIN to the console. Follow the instructions above for getting a license KEY, then use the -writekey option (e.g. run_gmsregister -nogui -writekey:01234567890123456789012345678901) to enter a key on the command line and have it written to the KEYS file. NOTE: The -writekey option is only valid when used in conjunction with the -nogui option.
