Local Machine Info AUTH

1. Version

2. Function introduction

Local machine information authentication is the most common authentication method, which is easy to operate and very convenient.

FineBI project is located is fixed. Users can generate a uniquely identified license file by exporting the rif file and obtaining the mac address and machine code.

3. Notes

It is recommended that users use the easiest and fastest registration method: public cloud authentication .

1) Local machine information authentication requires the physical information of the server where the FineBI project is located to be fixed. If it is not fixed, this registration method is not suitable.

For example, to deploy the FineBI project in a virtual machine environment, the physical information in the virtual machine environment may change, causing registration failure, please select other registration methods.

2) A formal license file can only be registered once on a machine. If you need to register multiple projects on the same machine, you need to purchase multiple licenses.

3) An official license file is only applicable to one server. If you need to change the server, you need to perform registration migration.

4) After upgrading across major versions under the same server (5.0 to 5.1), registration migration is required.

5) Please make sure that the project uses JDK 1.8 and the minor version needs to be above JDK8u200.

1. Confirm the project name

Open the % Tomcat_HOME %\webapps\ directory of the server where the FineBI project is located , and confirm the report Web project name, which is webroot by default .

Users can modify the project name according to their own needs before registration, but cannot be modified after registration.

Note: The modification of the project name may affect the settings such as the hyperlink of the template , please modify it with caution.

      Modifying the project name is to change the name of the folder. After modification, the address to access the project becomes http://IP:port/projectname/decision

The exported file is named RegistrationInformation.rif , which stores the version information of the FineBI project.

3. Send email to business

If it is correct, it will show that the registration is successful, as shown in the following figure:

Note: FanRuan.lic will be automatically saved to the directory of your current project %FR-HOME%\ webroot \WEB-INF\resources .

1) Go to the % FineBI_HOME %/ webroot /WEB-INF/resources directory and delete the " FanRuan.lic " file, as shown in the following figure:
