To activate Enterprise Developer Personal Edition

Note: The Enterprise Developer Personal Edition option is not available with this release. In order to use Enterprise Developer, you need to purchase the full unlimited license for it.

You can use the Personal Edition option if you install Enterprise Developer Personal Edition 2.1 Update 1. When you start the product, follow the links in the Micro Focus Enterprise Developer Product Licensing dialog box to activate the free product.

Having activated Enterprise Developer Personal Edition, you can use it for a limited period. After this period, you will need to enter an authorization code in order to continue using it, either for a 30-day trial or full license of Enterprise Developer. To do this:

  1. Start Enterprise Developer.

    If you have not installed a license for Enterprise Developer, starting the IDE and trying to create a COBOL project opens the Micro Focus Enterprise Developer Product Licensing dialog box. If you cancel this dialog box, you can invoke it again from Help > Micro Focus Product Help > Product Licensing.

  2. Click I want to activate the free product.
  3. Ensure that the email address used to register the product is in the Email address text entry field. If you haven't registered your email address yet, click registration page and follow the instructions on that page.
  4. Select one of the following options:
    Automatic
    Use this if you have Internet access.
    1. Click Activate License to activate your copy of Enterprise Developer Personal Edition.
    Manual
    Use this if you are not connected to the Internet.
    1. Click Send email.

      This opens your default email client and creates a new email filled in with the details to send to Micro Focus about activating your copy of the free Personal Edition of the product.

      Note: If there is no mail client installed on your machine, click next to Send email, and click Display fields. You will be presented with a template that includes the email address, the subject and the contents of an email to send to Micro Focus using a mail client of your choice. Do not modify the details.

      You will receive a response email with details about your authorization request.

    2. Paste the contents of the response email in the designated field in the Micro Focus Enterprise Developer Product Licensing dialog box.
    3. Click Activate License.

      This displays a message confirming your request for authorization has been successful.

    4. Click Close.
