The Usage of OSL Software is subject to our End User License, which you have to accept. You will get a copy of the End User Licence together with your offer or enclosed to your SW-Delivery. Please read the End User Licence carefully before installing, copying or using OSL Software. By installing, copying or using the software you accept the End User Licence of OSL Gesellschaft für offene Systemlösungen automatically.
A temporary Test Licence can only be applied for evaluation or education purposes, according to the End User Licence mentioned above.
For that, the following steps are necessary:
Please print a copy of the End User Licence. Then read the Terms of Use (German) of OSL Software carefully. Only if you accept these Terms of Use (by documenting it in step 3) can you apply for a "Test Licence".
To apply for a licence key, you need to get some information from the host where the OSL software should run. This information can be easily obtained by using our command-line tool getserial. The tool is part of our standard software installation, but it can also be downloaded and used separately. Download getserial for your hardware platform:
getserial - Linux
getserial - Solaris 11 Sparc
getserial - Solaris 11 X86
