Remove "Licensing Required" Message
On the first time that you set your web store you will notice that a message in bold letters is showing at the bottom part of all pages there. This is a security measure embedded by eCommerce to determine whether the site has the necessary license for it to be used. Meaning to say, to disable this message a license must be secured first to be able to use the store site. This goes the same for each website that will be established in this eCommerce system.
Steps
- Obtain a license
eCommerce is licensed by domain and by site. To remove the message, you must generate a license key for the domain/IP/hostname you are using to access the site. It is important that you are certain on what URL you will be using to activate the site before generating a license key, as only one development and one production key may be generated per license. - Activate the license
To activate a license, run the Connected Business Database Management Console utility then click the Register Product button on the toolbar menu.
- Setting up the license of the store
Once generated, the license file is placed in your site's images directory.
Note: Each license allows activation of one development key and one production key, so please do not activate your license until you are sure of what your domain name and development environment is going to be. Once the key has been generated, there is no way to make a correction without contacting support. If you are generating a production key, please make absolutely sure that the domain name matches exactly. If your store is at http://www.mywebstore.com, then you would use www.mywebstore.com as the domain name. If your store will be accessed via http://store.mycompany.com, then you would specify store.mycompany.com as the domain name. Licensing does not support wildcards (*.com, *.mywebstore.com, etc.) nor can you simply use mywebstore.com, unless that is the exact URL your customers use to access the site.
