6-2 BEA Products Installation Guide
Note: See the End User License Agreement for specific license terms and conditions.
When you install your software, a non-expiring development license file (
license.bea) is
installed on your system. By default, your software uses the development license installed with
the product so that you can start using it immediately. Subsequently, when you install additional
BEA products that include a
license.bea file, the installation program automatically adds the
new product licenses to the
license.bea file.
Note: The
license.bea file conforms to the XML grammar definition. The XML definition
(
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>) must be at the very beginning
of the
license.bea file. There cannot be any spaces or line breaks before the XML
definition.
