Where is the key for installing Inprise Application Server with JBuilder 4?

By: Steve Peters

Abstract: Steps to retrieve the IAS keys online.

The Inprise Application Server that comes with JBuilder 4 uses different license keys than JBuilder does. To get your license keys, please locate the paper slip in your JBuilder 4 box that says, "How to Obtain Your Inprise Aplication Server Developer License Key." This paper shows the following URL:

  • http://www.borland.com/jbuilder/iaskeys/

The page shows a 4 step process. The first step is to login or become a member of the Borland Community. If you are already a member, skip ahead to "Logging into the Community."

Click the New User button to begin the new account process. You will go to a Member Information page where you can select a username and password and fill out some information about yourself. Fields marked with a pink dot are required. After filling out the required fields, click Continue. You will then go to a Profile Information page. Fill out the information according to your preferences and click Submit at the bottom. An activation code will be sent to your specified email address. In this email, there is a link that you need to click on to activate your Community account. Once you click on this you will have activated your account. Go back to this page to continue:

  • http://www.borland.com/jbuilder/iaskeys/

Click on the link for Step 1 to continue.

"Logging into the Community"
Enter your username and password to login. Make sure you have cookies enabled in your browser. Logging in takes you to a Inprise Application Server 4.1 survey. Fill out the survey and click Submit to continue. You will be taken to a page where you will need to enter the Serial Number and Authorization Key from your JBuilder 4 CD sleeve. Enter these codes and click Submit. The license keys for Inprise Application Server will appear.

Please note that when you install IAS, you will need to enter both the company, "Inprise", and the Key as it appears for your platform to correctly license it. Entering anything other than Inprise for the company will result in a failed license.

Happy Coding!
