Customization of Installation

Silent Installation

A silent installation of EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR may be invoked by executing the installer from the command line and by specifying additional parameters (see table below).

Command Line Arguments for Silent Installation/Uninstallation:

Installation Scenario Command

Installation Scenario	Command
Silent installation through command line	`EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR_12.4.0_setup.exe /S` Note: `EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR_12.4.0_setup.exe` is the name of the file which you have downloaded
Silent uninstall through command line	`uninstall.exe /S` Note: `uninstall.exe` is located in the installation directory typically at C:\ETAS\EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR 12.4

Silent installation through command line

EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR_12.4.0_setup.exe /S

Note: EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR_12.4.0_setup.exe is the name of the file which you have downloaded

Silent uninstall through command line

uninstall.exe /S

Note: uninstall.exe is located in the installation directory typically at C:\ETAS\EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR 12.4

If an error occurs during the installation of EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR, you can refer to the section: Installation Error Codes in the Getting Started manual to resolve the issue.

Customization of Installation Directory Path

Customizing the installation directory is just an additional parameter:

´EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR_12.4.0_setup.exe /S /D=C:\Custom\EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR12.4´

EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR_12.4.0_setup.exe is the name of the file that you have downloaded.
The path after /D= does not need any quotes (even if it contains spaces).
The selected custom installation directory should be empty.
The installation directory path must not exceed 80 characters for the installation to succeed.

Customization of High Screen Resolution

Enabling the high screen resolution setting by making it as true as shown below: /EnableSystemDPIAwareness=true

Customization of License Configuration File

Customizing the license configuration file by mentioning the path to the licensing.ini file:

/LicenseConfigurationFile=<Path to Licensing.ini>

Example:

/LicenseConfigurationFile=D:\licensing.ini

Customization of Minimizing EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR to System Tray

The Product can be exited without getting minimized to system tray by making it as false as shown below:

/MinimizeToTray=false

Customization of EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR default log path

The /DefaultLogPath=<path/to/directory> option sets the root folder for the log files generated during installation of other ETAS products which get installed along with EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR (For example: The ETAS license manager installed along with EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR). The value can be the name of an existing folder or if the path is not existing, it is created during the first setup.

This works only when no other ETAS product has set this value before.

Customization of Workspace Location

The location of the workspace used by EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR can also be customized after the installation by modifying the configuration\config.ini file in the installed directory.

Note that the changes made to config.ini will be effective only after restarting the product.

To specify a custom workspace location, the value for the “osgi.instance.area” argument in the .ini file should be modified.

Example:

osgi.instance.area=C:\\custom_install_dir\\EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR

osgi.instance.area=C:/custom_install_dir/EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR

Uninstallation will not automatically clean the workspace, if the workspace location has been customized. The installer assumes the workspace to be located in the default location.

Customizing EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR to display in System Tray

The Product can be customized such that when you close EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR, it is still available and visible in the Windows System Tray.

This can be done by adding the command, -DMinimizeToTray=True to the EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR.ini file which is available in the EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR installation directory.

The changes made to EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR.ini file will be effective only after restarting the product.

Uninstall Navigator

You can uninstall the EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR product by the following method:

Select Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features in the Control Panel. Select EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR 12.4 and click Uninstall/Change.

To Uninstall EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR:

it can be safely removed.

If an error occurs while uninstalling EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR refer to the section Installation Error Codes to resolve the issue.

Licensing the Software

To be able to work with an ETAS software product, you require a license. This section contains basic details on this subject.

Details concerning the scope of the licenses and other legal aspects can be found in "Terms and Conditions".

ETAS License Models

There are three different license models available for licensing your ETAS software:

Machine-Named License, Local

A license of this type is managed by the user him/herself.
As it is linked to a particular PC.
When you change your PC, you require a new license.

User-Named License, Server-Based

The licenses (of a department or company) are managed centrally on a server by a designated person.
The license is linked to the user name with which the user is registered in the network and is available on every PC in the network.
If the relevant PC is disconnected from the network, the license can be "borrowed".

Concurrent (or Floating) License, Server-Based

Most of what is true of the user-named license applies to this type of license. The difference is that here several users share a limited number of licenses.

License Features Overview

The following table provides an overview of the EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR license features.

To be able to start EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR, either the EHANDBOOK_NAVIGATOR or the EHANDBOOK_NAVIGATOR_BASIC license is required.

License Feature	Description
EHANDBOOK_NAVIGATOR	Main application, enables most of the features
EHANDBOOK_NAVIGATOR_AUTOSAR_CL	Add-on that enables AUTOSAR related features in EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR
EHANDBOOK_NAVIGATOR_BASIC	Enables EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR Basic mode with a limited feature set
EHANDBOOK_NAVIGATOR_CANAPE	Add-on that enables CANape interoperability features in EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR
EHANDBOOK_NAVIGATOR_COMPARE	Add-on that enables the Compare functionality in EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR

How to get a License

If your company has a tool coordinator and server-based license management for ETAS software, contact this person. Otherwise (in the case of a machine-named license) you obtain your license from the ETAS license portal (the URL is shown on your Entitlement Certificate). There are three ways of logging in on the welcome page:

Activation ID
Once you have logged in, a specific activation is visible and can be managed
- the activation ID is shown on your Entitlement Certificate.
Entitlement ID
All activations of the entitlement are visible and can be managed (e.g. for a company with just one entitlement).
E-mail and password

All activations of entitlements assigned to the user account are visible and can be managed (e.g. for a tool coordinator responsible for several entitlements). If you need help in the portal, click the Help link.

What Information is required?

Information on the hosts must be entered to activate licenses:

Machine-named license
The MAC address of the Ethernet adapter to which the license is to be bound is required here.
User-named license
Here, you need a server host or a server triad as well as a user name.
Concurrent (floating) license

Here, you need a server host or a server triad.

If this data changes (e.g. due to changes in the hardware or a change of user), the license must be given a "rehost". This procedure is also described in the portal help file.

License File

The result of your activities is the provision of a file <name>.lic with which you can license your software in the ETAS License Manager.

The License File

To check license status

In the Windows Start menu, select ETAS → ETAS License Manager.
The ETAS License Manager contains one entry for each installed product.

The symbol at the beginning of the entry and the "Status" column entry indicate whether a valid license has already been obtained or not.

To add a license file

Open the ETAS License Manager and select File → Add license file.

The Add license file dialog window opens.

Next to the Select License File field click the … button.

In the file selection window, select the license file and click Open. The Install License dialog window shows information on the selected license.

The "Version" column shows the version number of the license, not the version number of the software.

Confirm with OK.
The license just added is now listed in the ETAS License Manager. A green symbol before the entry shows that the license is valid.

If the green symbol is not displayed, there might be a problem with the license file or the license relates to another product. Additional information on the ETAS License Manager can be found in the online help of the ETAS License Manager.

Close the ETAS License Manager.

EHANDBOOK NAVIGATOR does not support Grace mode.

Request an Evaluation License

If you have not added a license file in the License Manager, you cannot work with the EHANDBOOK NAVIGATOR product. You need to obtain a valid license file to operate it. You can send a mail to ETAS sales (see ETAS Contacts) to obtain an Evaluation License. ETAS sales will generate an evalua- tion license and send it to you which will be valid for another 3 months of time.

Basic Mode

If you have not yet installed a license after the expiry, you can still operate the soft- ware with a few features disabled by obtaining a basic mode license; it then runs in what is referred to as basic mode. The window shows the warning message dis- played in this mode.

Click Exit and manage license to open the ETAS License Manager and install a valid license file. As soon as you have installed a valid license, you can continue to operate the ETAS software in normal operating mode.
Click Exit to close the dialog box and exit the ETAS software.

The "License expires soon" Window

If your installed license runs out in the next 30 days, a warning is shown when you open the ETAS software.

The License expires soon window shows you the number of days left for the license to expire. The following warning messages are displayed indicating the expiration of license in 23 days, 1 day, and next day.

Click Exit and manage lincense to open the ETAS License Manager and install a valid license file. As soon as you have installed a valid license, you can continue to operate the ETAS software in normal operating mode.

Select Do not show again to stop displaying the License expires soon dialog box.

Click Continue in full mode to close the dialog box and start the ETAS software.

Once this phase is over, you can continue to use the ETAS software with a few features disabled in what is referred to as Basic Mode (see Basic Mode). All functionalities of the ETAS software are available only when a new or updated license file is installed.

Borrowing a License

The borrowing mechanism makes it possible to work offline even when using a server-based license (i.e. without being connected to the license server).

You can only borrow a license if a server-based license is being used!

To borrow a license, proceed as follows:

To borrow a license:

Make sure the ETAS software that you want to borrow the license for is not open.
Select the license you want to borrow in the "License Listing" table of the ETAS License Manager.

Select License → Borrow selected licenses.
<Or>
Select License → Borrow all licenses.

The Select Borrow end date dialog box opens.

Select the date until which you want to borrow the license from the calendar displayed and click OK.

The text in the "Source" column of the ETAS License Manager changes from "SERVER" to "BORROW", and the expiration date of the borrowed license is displayed.

You can now use the relevant ETAS software offline until the expiration date of the borrowed license has been reached.

If you want to use the ETAS software longer than you had originally planned, you can borrow the license again. If you stop using the ETAS software earlier than planned, you can return the license to the license server early.
(License → Return selected licenses <or> License → Return all licenses). A borrowed license can only be returned by the person who borrowed it; it cannot be returned by another person.
