Common Questions After Installing Pervasive.SQL

This section contains information that you should read after running the installation program. If you are having problems with your installation, go to Chapter 19, Troubleshooting After Installation, or get help online from our Knowledge Base website at http://support.pervasive.com/eSupport.

How Do I Read the Online Documentation?

The documentation for Win32 platforms is in JavaHelp format. You access the documentation from the Pervasive program on the Start menu. Note that JavaHelp requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which is installed by default with the Pervasive.SQL Server or Pervasive.SQL Client.

You can also view the documentation in the form of Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files. These PDF files are available on the Pervasive.SQL installation media in the "Books" directory.

A README file in the root directory of the distribution media lists important last-minute information.

How Do I Verify or Update My User License?

The License Administrator utility is documented in Pervasive.SQL User's Guide in the section License Administrator . Please refer to that document for information on user licenses.
