Activate the License

If you provided license keys during the installation, on Windows, you should skip reading this chapter.

isCOBOL Mobile looks for the following configuration properties for the license keys at compile-time:

iscobol.compiler.license.2017=<license_key> iscobol.eis.license.2017=<license_key> iscobol.mobile.license.2017=<license_key>

These keys should be stored in one of the following files (if they exist):

Windows

1.	\etc\iscobol.properties in the drive where the working directory is

2.	C:\Users\<username>\iscobol.properties (the setup wizard saves licenses here, if you don’t skip activation)

3.	iscobol.properties found in the Java Classpath

4.	%ISCOBOL%\iscobol.properties

5.	a custom configuration file passed on the command line

Unix/Linux

1.	/etc/iscobol.properties

2.	$HOME/iscobol.properties

3.	iscobol.properties found in the Java Classpath

4.	$ISCOBOL/iscobol.properties

5.	a custom configuration file passed on the command line

NOTE - Files are listed in the order they’re processed. If the license keys appears in more than one of the above files, then the last occurrence is considered.
