Configuring IRIS license setups

Figure 1. License setup example

Before you can use IRIS/RDA software, you must request and set up a license.

  1. Open the Setup utility by typing: 
    setup&
  2. In the Setup utility, select License.
    1. Delete the default texts in the License fields.
    2. Depending on your setup, for IRIS Style, select either Radar or Analysis.
    3. In Site name, type a name for the machine (typically the host name of the machine).

      For example: hel-radar

    4. In Site code, type a code name for the radar site.

      For example: HEL

    5. In the IRIS License Setups window, select File > Close
    6. Select File > Save and File > Exit.
  3. In the terminal window, type: show_machine_code

    The terminal prints the licensing information about this machine. For example:

    ---------------------------------------------------

  4. Copy all the information under Licensing Information for IRIS Version <version number>
  5. Contact your Vaisala representative and request an IRIS license.

    Provide the information you copied in the previous step.

  6. When you receive the license from Vaisala, return to Setup > License and type the License 1, License 2, ... license codes in the order listed in the license.

    Depending on your configuration, you may have codes such as:

    • IRIS Features Code
    • IRIS Product Code

  7. Select File > Save and File > Exit.
  8. To confirm that your license is correctly setup, start IRIS by typing:

    If the IRIS Quick Look Window does not start, see Making Quick Look Windows (QLW) appear.
