What is the License Generator?
The FirstClass License Generator is an application used to generate an encoded license file that contains confidential information, such as the batch administration password or the FirstClass administrator password.
You need to distribute the generated license file, along with the FirstClass Migrator application, to end users to enable client migration functionality.
For more information about the FirstClass Migrator, see the FirstClass Migrator documentation.
It can be run as a GUI application or as a simple command line tool.

Special note for FirstClass Migrator for Microsoft Exchange users only
Once the Migrator license file is successfully generated, you must distribute it to users in one of two ways:
• attach it to a message and send it to FirstClass users who will be using the Client Migrator
When the Client Migrator begins, it will check the FirstClass Mailbox for a valid Migrator license file before looking anywhere else. If found, it will use the file to compose the Batch Admin scripts.
• send it directly to users, with instructions to put the file in the same directory as the Client Migrator.
When the Client Migrator begins, if it does not find the Migrator license file in the user's FirstClass Mailbox, it will look in this directory next.
Notes
• If the Client Migrator cannot find a valid Migrator license file either in the FirstClass Mailbox or under the Migrator installation folder, it will use the default batch admin password "admin" to compose the Batch Admin scripts.
• In order for the Client Migrator to recognize the Migrator license file you generated, it must be named "license.cmi" (no quotes).
