Application Startup

DataTools Launcher looks for licenses within the Active License Directory. The default Active License Directory is located under the Windows shared application data folder. On Windows XP, the location is: C:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Application Data\Pervasive\DataTools\Common800\License. On Windows Vista (32-bit), the location is C:\ProgramData\Pervasive\DataTools\Common800\License. You can change the Active License Directory in the Preferences menu.

After installation and at first startup, the DataTools Launcher will prompt you to enter your user ID and password. Enter the same login credentials you used to order your license(s). The DataTools Launcher will then connect to the Pervasive license web service and download any new licenses or licenses missing from your Active License Directory. NOTE: It is important that you use the same user ID and password used to order your Pervasive DataTools licenses from the DataTools e-commerce web site.

After a successful log into the Pervasive web service, you will be notified if new or missing licenses exist. See below:

• If you click No, DataTools Launcher will load and display all non-expired and non-superceded .slc files in the Active License Directory.
• If you click Yes, you will be given the opportunity to add any of the new or missing license files to your Active License Directory.

Check the box in the Add cell next to the license you would like to copy to your Active License Directory. After selecting the licenses you wish to add to your Active License Directory, press the OK button. The licenses will be added and the Active tab will display.
