The true power of OMNIA lies in its flexibility and scalability.  Upgrading to a new tier simply requires a license key – no data migration or software re-installation is necessary. In order to obtain a license for your server, you will first need to get the Machine ID and send this to your Impro supplier, along with your license order. 

From the “C:\OMNIA)\bin” application folder run the “get_machine_id.exe” executable as Administrator. 

Once you’ve run this application, it will detect the Machine ID ( MAC address of the primary server NIC ) and pop up an information message. Click “OK”.

A new folder called “MachineID” will be created in the “bin” folder, containing a file called “machine_id.txt” You need to send this file together with your license order to your Impro supplier in order to obtain a license.

Once you have submitted your order with your Machine ID, your impro supplier will send you a zipped license file. It should be similar to the below (note the Machine ID in the file name).

Extract the contents of the zipped license file directly to the root of the C: drive. Extract to this location even if OMNIA is installed on another drive. You should end up with a folder called “LicenseConfig” on root of the C: drive, which contains the original “machine_id.txt” file, as well as your new software license – “software_license.conf”. 

Once you have extracted the license, you MUST restart the OMNIA application on the server, for your new license to be detected. If it has been correctly detected, you will see this reflected in the “About” dialog box on your OMNIA base application.
