Jim Installation

Jim is supported on:

• PC's running Microsoft Windows XP/Server/Vista.
• PC's running Linux.
• Sun Microsystems workstations running Solaris 8 or later.
• Apple macintosh computers running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and later.

Jim has three licensing models:

• Node-locked license. This type of license allows Jim to run on only one particular computer. If you wish to run Jim on more than one computer, then this will require the purchase of more than one license. Licensing is controlled either by the hostid of Solaris systems, or the Ethernet MAC (hardware) address on PCs and Macintosh computers. Moving the license can only be done if the licensed computer fails or is permanently replaced. If, at some future date, you decide to upgrade Jim to a later version, you will also be given the opportunity to move the license to a new computer at that stage. All trial licenses are node-locked.
• Dongle license. If you purchase a dongle license, you will receive a dongle to plug into your computer's USB port. You can then run Jim on any computer, but only on one computer at a time. If you unplug the dongle from a computer, Jim will stop working on that computer until you plug in the dongle again. Dongles only work on systems running Windows, Linux and Mac OS X 10.5 (64-bit Intel processor), and cannot be used on systems running Solaris.
• Floating (network) license. If you purchase network licenses, Jim will run on any computer that can communicate with a network license server. The number of licenses that can be issued at any given time by the server depends on the number of licenses you purchase. If a user's computer requests a license from the server, and all licenses are in use, then Jim will not start on that user's PC until another user has stopped using Jim.
