Prerequisites

We assume you already have a recent Java SDK installed. You will need at least Java 5.0.

This tutorial uses MySQL to store licenses. We recommend you download a recent 5.x version of MySQL from the MySQL download site at http://www.mysql.org/downloads/.

In addition, you need the corresponding JDBC driver called “ Connector/J”, which you can also find on the MySQL download site.

Install and run the MySQL database server. We assume you are running MySQL on your local machine on standard port 3306, but you can of course use any host or port.

Next, extract the Connector/J archive to a folder on your local machine.

If you haven't already installed a recent OpenOffice package on your machine, we recommend you download and install OpenOffice from the OpenOffice download site at
