Exponare Server
11. Install Exponare on your system. For installation refer Installation.
Exponare Installation on Windows Server 2003 Standard
No specific settings are required for Windows Server 2003 except the standard pre-requisite installs
and .net framework settings
Exponare Server License Application
Exponare Server is copy protected by a licensing system. For the first 60 days after installation a trial
license will allow use of Exponare. After this time the copy protection system will prevent the use of
Exponare Server until a full license file is obtained from Pitney Bowes Software.
Given that it can take several days to receive a license file it is advised that you make an application
for a license prior to installing Exponare Server. An application for a license can be made through
the following process:
1. Use the Exponare Hardware Identity Generator to gather the information necessary to make an
application. This wizard can be launched from the Register option on the Exponare CD main
menu, or under the Exponare Server start menu folder after installation.
2. You can copy the harware identity details to clipboard and email the same to
'asiapackeys@pb.com'.
3. After installing Exponare Server, copy your license file to the
/Common Files/MapInfo/MapXtreme/7.1.0 folder.
In case of a 64 bit installation on a 64 bit machine, the permanent license has to be copied to
\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MapInfo\MapXtreme\7.1.0 folder
4. A license file is bound to a single computer. It is not possible to take a valid license file from one
computer and have it work on another. For the same reason you must make an application for a
license for each computer you install Exponare Server on.
• If a hardware change is made on a computer hosting Exponare Server it may be necessary
to apply for a new license.
Server Name
If the name of your server contains characters other than alphanumeric characters and dashes then
you should rename your server so that the name only contains alphanumeric characters and
dashes, access the server by the IP Address, or access the server by an alternate HTTP address.
Windows Event Log
Messages from Exponare Server and Exponare Public will be written to the Event Log on the
machine Exponare Server is installed on. Messages from Exponare Enquiry will be written to the
Event Log on the machine Exponare Enquiry is installed on.
When configuring an Exponare Server, many messages can be written out to the Application Log on
the server. The Application Log default size is comparatively small and so we recommend you
increase the default size of the Application Log before installing and configuring or upgrading to
Exponare 3.0 and above.
Messages will be written out by default. There is no need to alter any configuration settings to cause
