In the supermap_iportal _ * _ linux64/support/SuperMap_License/Support directory to extract the driver installation package * .tar, install the driver;

The unzipping commands as follows:

tar -xvf *.tar

Navigate into the decompression of the file, execute the following command to install the driver:

./dinst

or

sh dinst

You can get a 90-day trial license and a maximum of 20 registered users are allowed to use SuperMap GIS 11i(2023) after installing the driver. If dinst has no executable permissions, please grant permissions by executing the following commands:

chmod +x dinst

Configure license

Configure file license

Unlike the GUI configuration on Windows, the ARM platform configures the file license in the way of commands with the command: ./licensetoo.sh

In the root directory of the package, execute the following command, you can view commands about how to configure license.

./licensetool.sh

The procedures of configuring licenses in the way of “Software Activation” as follows:

(1) Generate the machine information file, execute the following command and specify a path to store the generated *.report file.

./licensetool.sh -report /path/*.report

(2) Send generated report file to SuperMap Software Co., Ltd.

Submit the local information file generated by the above steps to SuperMap Software Co., Ltd., we will generate and return the official license based on your application and you will be able to configure the official license through this file.

• If you are applying for SuperMap GIS 7C series, you will receive a * .lic7c format license file
• If you are applying for the SuperMap GIS 8C series, you will receive a * .lic format license file
• If you are applying for the SuperMap GIS 9D/10i series, you will receive a * .lic9d format license file
• If you are applying for the SuperMap GIS 11i series, you will receive a * .licx format license file

(3) Make the license take effect. Place your official license file into a specified location and execute the following command with the specific file path:

./licensetool.sh -update /path/*.lic

or

./licensetool.sh -update /path/*.lic7c

or

./licensetool.sh -update /path/*.lic9d

or

./licensetool.sh -update /path/*.licx

Configure hardware license

Ensure that you have obtained a legal license from SuperMap Software Co., Ltd. before license configuration. If an available hardware license server already exists in the same network segment, then you don’t need to configure the license manually; If the server is in other segments in the current network, please configure the license as follows:

(1) Open your browser and visit http://localhost:1947 or http://LocalIP:1947.

(2) In the left Options, select Configuration.

(3) On the right side, select the Access to Remote License Managers tab.

You also can view the license status by executing the following command in SuperMapiPortal root directory:

./licensetool.sh -s

Apply and Configure trial license

./licensetool.sh -update /path/*.licx

A license update can accept the following types of files for different purposes:
