KappaCCD Software Licenses

The KappaCCD comes with 3 major software packages, each requiring a license. You can request license files to use a few different computers with your KappaCCD system, as long as they are in the same building. Supported architectures are SGI computers running IRIX V5.x and V6.x, and Intel PC's running selected RedHat and Fedora Linux versions.
The 2000 release of HKL does not run under RedHat 7.3. To run under this operating system, you will have to upgrade to the 2002 version.
maXus
To request a maXus license file you will need to fill in a form of information about yourself and the computer. This can be done even before maXus is installed on the system.

 

 

A maXus license file will expire after a few years; when it expires you can request a new one.

If the Internet address (IP address) of a computer running maXus is changed, a new maXus license file will be required.

The maXus license file is called maXus.license, and is stored in the maXus lib directory (usually /usr/local/maxus/lib)

HKL
To request a HKL license file you will need to run the program "accessprod" (for the 1998 version) or "accessprod2000" (for the 2000 version), which asks some information about you and your institute, and acquires some information about the computer by itself. Since the license file contents have changed between the two versions, it is essential to use the version belonging to the denzo version that you are installing. The "accessprod" programs are part of the HKL program suite, so the suite needs to be installed before a license file can be requested. The "info" file that is produced by "accessprod" should be sent to the hkl.com address suggested by the "accessprod" program.

 

 

For the 1998 version of denzo: If the Internet address (IP address) or the host name of a computer running HKL software is changed, a new HKL license file will be required. For the 2000 version, which uses a completely different license system, both a change of IP address or a change of ethernet card will require you to request a new license file.

The HKL license file is called cr_info and can be stored either in /usr/local/lib, in your home directory, or in the directory where you are running the program. The license file looks like a single very long line (1998 version) or multiple lines of about 64 characters wide (2000 version) of gibberish.

collect
The latest available version of collect no longer requires a license file to run. Bruker will not make new license files from now on. Please download the latest version of collect from the software area in the KappaCCD users pages.
evalccd
EvalCCD does not require its own license file.
