Yes. The ILM Authorization scheme is designed so that all ILM-based Freedom Scientific products can be activated via a single license server computer. The order of activation is not relevant, but it is important that you only install the Network Authorization Utilities once, for the first product you activate. Products which currently use the ILM authorization scheme include JAWS, Fusion, ZoomText, and OpenBook.
To activate multiple Freedom Scientific products on a single license server, do the following (where [product] indicates JAWS, Fusion, ZoomText, or OpenBook):
1. Install Network Authorization Utilities 7.0, which can be downloaded from the following web page, Network Server License Installation
2. Activate the product following normal instructions.
Now you are ready to activate a second Freedom Scientific product on the same server. DO NOT INSTALL THE NETWORK AUTHORIZATION UTILITIES AGAIN..
3. Open the Start menu and choose Programs, Freedom Scientific, Network, Update
Product Authorization.
4. Choose the Activate button.
5. Select Now, Using the Internet and choose Next.
6. You are now asked for the 20-digit authorization code for the second Freedom
Scientific product. Type in the code.
7. Choose Next to activate your software.
Repeat steps 3 through 7 for each product you want this license server to authorize.
NOTE that it is important you do not install Network Authorization Utilities on the license server again after activating the first product.. If you do, attempting to activate the license for a second product may result in an Error 30019 Failed to Add a License. If you receive this error message after activating one of our products, you can do the following to resolve the problem:
1. Uninstall the Network Authorization Utilities: from the Start menu, choose Freedom
Scientific, Network, Uninstall Network Setup and choose OK.
2. Delete the following folders from the license server:
\ProgramFiles\FreedomScientific\Activator
\ProgramFiles\Rainbow Technologies
3. Reinstall the Network Authorization Utilities 7.0.
4. Activate both Freedom Scientific network licenses, accessed via the Start Menu, Programs, Freedom Scientific, Network.
