Licensing

Since version 3.4 XBM is protected by a license. The XBM is contained in a text file, that can be located wherever on the host system (normally under $XBMHOME).

Each XBM session must include in its configuration file (xbm.conf) a parameter named license.file which paths to the absolute name of the license file.

I.e.

license.file=/home/xbm/license.dat

To obtaing the license file for your system(s), please contact High Technology, supplying, for each system where you want XBM to run, the output of the command hostname.

Running on Java 2 version 1.3.x

On some systems, like AIX 4.x, Java 1.4 is not available. In order to have XBM running on these systems user must include the following like in the profile of userid running xbmd:

CLASSPATH=$XBMHOME/lib/classes12.jar:$CLASSPATH

However some functionalities may not be supported on Java version 1.3.x.
