License Files
In order to use mxODBC, you will need license files from eGenix.com.
If you want to test the product before buying it, you can request evaluation
licenses via the eGenix.com web-site at http://www.egenix.com/
.
When buying licenses from the eGenix.com online shop (http://shop.egenix.com/
),
you will receive the license files immediately after purchase.
In both cases, the license files are sent to the email address you specified during
the purchase process or from which you wrote the evaluation license request in
form of a ZIP license archive attached to the license email – usually named
licenses.zip.
The license archive licenses.zip contains one subdirectory per license you bought.
The directories are named after the license key for each license. A typical license
archive will have these contents:
2100-8789-0322-0926-2568-6429/mxodbc_license.py
2100-8789-0322-0926-2568-6429/mxodbc_license.txt
2100-8089-0312-0926-2668-6529/mxodbc_license.py
2100-8089-0312-0926-2668-6529/mxodbc_license.txt
(in the above example, the license archive contains the files for two product
licenses).
In order to install the license files, please unzip the license archive to a temporary
directory.
In order for mxODBC to pick up the correct license files, please copy them to a
location on your
sys.path or PYTHONPATH. If you installed Python to e.g.
C:\Python27, the typical location for installation of the license files would be
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\.
Use the following command to see the
sys.path that your Python version uses:
python -c "import sys; print ':'.join(sys.path)"
