Set Up the Authorization String
If you are installing the VectorH Evaluation package, a 32-character authorization string was emailed to you as an “authstring” file. You need this file to install VectorH.
If you did not receive an authorization string, contact Actian Corporation at eval@actian.com.
To set up the authstring
1. Unpack the file archive.
2. Copy the “authstring” file to the directory that is created during the unpacking operation. Example directory: actian-vectorh-x.x.x-xxx-eval-linux-ingbuild-x86_64
3. Proceed with the installation.
Failing to copy the file into the proper directory will result in an error when installing Vector.
The authorization string is stored in the II_AUTH_STRING installation parameter. If you have already installed the software and need to install an authorization string, you can set this parameter as follows:
ingsetenv II_AUTH_STRING "authstring"
where authstring is the 32-character authorization string, which must be delimited with double quotes. For example:
ingsetenv II_AUTH_STRING "ABCDEF8G HIJKLMNO PQRS44TU XYZ5X111"
