When MIX is running, go to your MIX IP Address (e.g. 192.168.1.xx) and run setup.html, http://192.168.1.xx/setup.html to view the configuration utilities for MIX.

A configuration page “ErgoTechIOT Management Utilities” will be seen with these links:

Download Logs – use to get the MIX runtime logs for debugging problems

Get Pre-License Key – use to get the pre-license key for this system

Update or Install an IOT Runtime License – use to import an ErgoIOTLicense.lic into the running MIX installation

Check License Status – check the MIX Project Deployment License status and the MIX Runtime License status

Licensing the Project

Projects are are either Trial (if you used a Trial version of MIStudio to build and deploy the project) or Permanent if you used a licensed version (non-trial) of MIStudio to build your project. Trial projects will run only for a limited time, even if the deployment platform (MIX) is licensed.

Licensing MIX

MIX is the 24/7 deployment platform for MIStudio projects and needs to be licensed for each system it runs on. This license is the MIX Runtime license (ErgoIOTLicense.lic).

To prepare to license MIX for your runtime platform, use the “Get Pre-License Key” option on the ErgoTechIOT Management Utilities page (setup.html). You need to have MIX running, even if not licensed, to access this configuration utility. When you click on “Get Pre-License Key” a key will be generated which needs to be sent (emailed) to your distributor who will return a license file for this system.

After you receive the license file (ErgoIOTLicence_xxxxxxx.lic, where xxxxxxx is the pre-license key value), save this file to your “downloads” or other easily accessible directory. Use “Update or Install an IOT Runtime License” to browse for this license file and then then use the “Load License” button to import this license into the MIX Runtime. On Windows and Linux desktop systems you will need to restart MIX to use this new license.

TransSECS will generate self-contained deployment code in your project directory. For each deployment distributed to a runtime system, a TransSECS runtime license must be installed to validate the installation.

TransSECS deployments can be set up on Windows systems with these steps:

1. Make a simple directory on the Windows system for the deployment. For example, C:/ToolNameRuntime or D:/ToolName/Runtime.

2. Copy the contents of the deployment to this new directory. You can include the ToolName directory with all the generated files, or you can take the contents of the ToolName directory and copy the complete contents to a new simple directory created in 1. above

3. A JRE must be available to run the software. This can be either installed on the Windows system or copied from the TransSECS installation (MIStudioSuite/jre). If copying the JRE from the TransSECS installation, take the whole “jre” directory and copy it to the same location where the files were copied from the deployment in step 2., above. The subdirectory structure under the ToolNameDeployment directory should be similar to:

4. Edit run.bat to point to this local JRE, or use the system's JRE

Open run.bat in a text editor. Edit the line that says: set path=C:\Users\Public\ErgoTech\TransSECSDevices\MIStudioSuite\jre\bin\;%path%

to use a local JRE: set path=.\jre\bin\;%path%

to use the system's JRE: set path=%path%
