Installing TeemTalk On UNIX Based Products Managing TeemTalk Licence Keys For each X display (workstation or terminal) on which TeemTalk is to be used there is a single 12 digit licence key required which is based on the Internet (IP) address of the given X display. All workstations whether they be standalone where they communicate to the host via a serial port, or connected using TCP/IP or LAT will have an IP address. Even if TeemTalk does not have a valid licence key it will always display the IP address of the system on which it is being displayed, and it is this IP address which is displayed by TeemTalk which should be used for obtaining the licence key. In most cases the licence key will be inserted directly in the /etc/lm/teemx file on the local workstation. In more complex environments where there may be many workstations running TeemTalk it is not necessarily desirable to have the licence key held locally on each machine. For this reason the licence key file for TeemTalk can be redirected using: -lm and therefore can reside on a central server. Additionally the TeemTalk licence manager can interpret the licence manager file as a list of licence keys. It reads each licence key from the list until the correct licence key is validated for the display on which TeemTalk is being displayed, or it reaches the end of the list. Using this simple method a complex network of systems can be configured using a single licence file located centrally on the network containing licence keys for all systems required to run TeemTalk. Any characters after the 12 digit licence key are also ignored so the file can be easily commented. A sample licence key file could look like this: 203985120727 dopey 189352905714 bashful 782318956723 happy 993469474363 grumpy 748972330139 sneezy 2-4
