Installing Node-Locked
SilverCreek on Linux (FortLM)

Download the SilverCreek software distribution

  • Go to https://download.iwl.com

  • If you do not know your username and password, please email info@iwl.com

  • Click the “SilverCreek Updates” category.

  • Select the desired installer (e.g. sc-m3-2013.111228-linux.tar.gz) and download it.

  • Save the downloaded package to permanent storage for future use.

  • Once the downloading has completed, extract the package from the downloaded file, as follows:

% tar -xzvf tar file.gz

For example:

% tar -xzvf sc-m3-2013.111228-linux.tar.gz

Here, tarfile is the name of the file to be extracted.

  • After extracting the package, please DO NOT try to uncompress disk*.Z file further; follow instructions below:

Run the install.sh scripts

  • You will need a Graphical User Interface (GNOME, KDE, or any X server set up as the DISPLAY) to complete the installation.

  • The installation script will start as setup wizard to guide you through the rest of the installation process.

  • You can start the installation by moving to the extracted directory (e.g., sc-m3-2011.111228)

    cd sc-m3-2011.111228

  • and then run the following command:

    ./install.sh

  • The installation script will start a setup wizard to guide you through the rest of the installation process.

Start the application to get the Host ID

  • To start SilverCreek, move to the installed target directory (e.g.,/home/mary/silvercreekMx)

  • Initiate the application as shown below:

bin/test-agent (to start test suites and tools)

bin/browse-agent (to start tools only, not test suites)

  • Upon SilverCreek startup, you will be given a HostID in the “License File Required” window.

  • You can also get a HostID by executing the command Imhostid found in SilverCreek’s “bin” directory.

Send an email to license@iwl.com, including your Serial Number, the Host ID and the installed product (e.g., sc-m3-2011.111228-linux.tar.gz)

Install the license file you received to unlock the software

  • You will receive a new FortLM license file via email from InterWorking Labs. (Be sure to check your spam folder if you have not received it.)

  • Remove the old license file and save it to temporary media (e.g. cloud storage, USB memory stick)

  • After receiving the new fortlm_license.lic file, you need to install it into SilverCreek’s home directory.

  • For example, if you installed SilverCreek in /home/bob/silvercreekMX

  • Then you should place the fortlm_license.lic in /home/bob/silvercreekMx

  • Alternatively, if you saved the fortlm_license.lic file received in your email inbox into a folder on your computer, you can click the “Import” button to copy it into your SilverCreek root directory when prompted for the license.

Congratulations!
