Use the following procedure to install License Server in text mode on UNIX platforms.

To install License Server on UNIX

1. Open a terminal in the directory in which you have placed the installer, and enter the following command:

       ./IDOLServer_VersionNumber_Platform.exe --mode text

   where:

   `VersionNumber` | is the version number of the installer
   `Platform` | is the name of your UNIX platform

   Note: Ensure that you have execute permission for the installer file.

   The console installer starts and displays the Welcome screen.

2. Read the information and then press the `Enter` key.

   The license information is displayed.

3. Read the license information, pressing `Enter` to continue through the text. After you finish reading the text, type `Y` to accept the license terms.

4. Type the path to the location where you want to install the servers, or press `Enter` to accept the default path.

   The Installation Mode screen is displayed.

5. Press `2` to select the Custom installation mode.

   The License Server screen opens.
