The License

    In order to use ABACUS you need a license code for every machine on which you want to use ABACUS. This license code depends on the name of the machine and, in addition for UNIX machines, on the ID of the machine. Send this information for every machine on which you like to use ABACUS to:

abacus@informatik.uni-koeln.de

Please note also your name and affilation that we can inform you on future updates of ABACUS.

The license code is then returned to you by e-mail. For a single machine with hostname yourhost the license code might look like

yourhost 112571219315081131

This line must be added to a file with the name .abacusLicense . You have to add for each machine on which you want to use ABACUS\ a line with the host name and the license code to the file .abacusLicense. The file .abacusLicense can be stored in any subdirectory of your file system. It is found with the help of the environment variable ABACUS_LICENSE_DIR (see Section gif).
