Open Inventor Redistribution

General

Your Open Inventor Development License entitles you to use the SDK to create and execute Open Inventor programs on the licensed machine. Please refer to the actual text of the license, included with the SDK as LICENSE.TXT, for complete details.

Once you have created an Inventor application to distribute, it must be packaged with certain components from the SDK in order to run outside the development environment. In order to redistribute these components, you must have a separate Run-Time License by Mercury Computer Systems.

Some installations of Open Inventor include the DLL or library for Qt (Trolltech - www.trolltech.com). Mercury is a licensed commercial Qt developer and this DLL is included to allow certain demo/example executables to run. This does not give you any rights (that you do not already have) to redistribute Qt.

Licensing

A run-time license is required for Open Inventor and each Open Inventor extension that is used by your application. Run-time licenses are (in most cases) locked to a specific computer. Here are the steps involved in setting up a run-time license.

1. Get the MCS Computer ID of the user's computer. The user will need to run a simple program on their computer and send its output to you.
   • On Windows, you can provide the License Admin program

         <OIV_INSTALL_DIR>\License\ladmin.exe (and MFC42.DLL)

     which will display the computer ID when the user clicks in the MCS Computer ID box.

     Alternatively, you can provide:

         <OIV_INSTALL_DIR>\program\MCScomputerID

     which must be run from a command prompt.

   • On UNIX and Linux, you must provide:

         <OIV_INSTALL_DIR>/license/MCScomputerID

2. Send the user's MCS Computer ID to the Mercury License Administrator, who will generate the run-time license(s).

3. Send the run-time license to the user, along with instructions for its deployment. You, as the software distributor, are responsible for deciding how you want your end users to specify the password (e.g., via the system registry, using a password file, etc.) and for giving them appropriate instructions.

   On Windows, you are allowed to distribute the files in:

       <OIV_INSTALL_DIR>\License

   including ladmin.exe and its associated help files. It is only necessary to distribute these files if you want your users to store their Open Inventor licenses in their system registry.

NOTE: If you have a master password agreement, other policies and practices apply relative to the disclosure and distribution of passwords. This information is provided in the materials that you receive with your master password.

Windows

The Open Inventor run-time system is dependent on the operating system and the compiler version that Open Inventor was compiled with. Some of the required libraries are operating system dependent.

Open Inventor DLLs

The Run-Time License permits you to redistribute these files, which are necessary for an Open Inventor 7.2 for Win32 run-time distribution:

INV720.DLL INVR720.DLL InvGui720.DLL INVW720.DLL ScaleViz720.DLL DirectViz720.dll ScaleVizGui720.DLL ScaleVizGuiQt720.DLL ClusterCom-base.DLL ClusterCom-local.DLL ClusterCom-mpi.DLL RemoteVizPlugIn.DLL Ivf720.DLL IvfU720.DLL DialogViz720.DLL DirectVizQt720.DLL DirectVizShaders720.DLL DirectVizW720.dll HardCopy720.DLL HardCopyW720.DLL InvFXViz720.DLL InvQt720.DLL InvWx720.DLL InvSV720.DLL INVTViz720.DLL INVTVizW720.DLL IVvr720.DLL LDM720.DLL MeshViz720.DLL MeshVizW720.DLL ResViz720.DLL IvTune.DLL

If you plan to allow IvTune to be launched from your application, then you must redistribute all of these files, even if they are not otherwise required by your application.

IvDLAcis.DLL IvDLALut.DLL IvDLBZlib.DLL IvDLDxf.DLL IvDLFlt.DLL IvDLFreeType.DLL IvDLJasper.DLL IvDLJpeg.DLL IvDLLm.DLL IvDLPdf.DLL IvDLPng.DLL IvDLProj4.DLL IvDLOpenAL32.DLL IvDLTiff.DLL IvDLZlib.DLL

These files are normally installed in the <OIV_INSTALL_DIR>\Program directory. Unless otherwise indicated, all of these files must be supplied.

NOTE: You do not have the right to distribute debug DLLs, e.g., INV720D.DLL.

The DLLs prefixed with "IvDL" are dynamically loaded. Your application can tell Open Inventor to load alternate DLLs using the following environment variables:

OIV_ALUT_NAME OIV_BZLIB_NAME OIV_FREETYPE_NAME OIV_LIBACIS_NAME OIV_LIBDXF_NAME OIV_LIBFLT_NAME OIV_LIBJASPER_NAME OIV_LIBJPEG_NAME OIV_LIBPNG_NAME OIV_LIBPROJ4_NAME OIV_LIBTIFF_NAME OIV_OPENAL_NAME OIV_ZLIB_NAME

If you have chosen to use one or more alternate DLLs, be sure to distribute the alternate DLLs that your application needs.

In order for your user to use the Open Inventor DLLs, the directory containing these DLLs must be found in one of the following locations: the application directory, the current directory, the system directory, the Windows directory, %PATH%. The dynamically loaded DLLs are searched for in all the same places, plus %OIV_LD_LIBRARY_PATH%.

Note that the DLL file names will be different for different versions of Open Inventor.

The Open Inventor run-time system is dependent on the compiler version and the operating system the Open Inventor release was compiled with. Some of required system libraries are operating system dependent.

These files are normally installed in the <OIV_INSTALL_DIR>/lib directory. Unless otherwise indicated, all of these files must be supplied.

The libraries prefixed with "libIvDL" are dynamically loaded. Your application can tell Open Inventor to load alternate libraries using the following environment variables:

OIV_BZLIB_NAME OIV_FREETYPE_NAME OIV_LIBDXF_NAME OIV_LIBFLT_NAME OIV_LIBJASPER_NAME OIV_LIBJPEG_NAME OIV_LIBPNG_NAME OIV_LIBPROJ4_NAME OIV_LIBTIFF_NAME OIV_ZLIB_NAME

If you have chosen to use one or more alternate libraries, be sure to distribute the alternate libraries that your application needs.

Note that in order for your user to use the Inventor libraries, they need to be in a directory whose path is in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. The dynamically loaded libraries are searched for in the following locations: $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and $OIV_LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

OpenRTRT Required Libraries

The following files must be redistributed if your application uses DirectViz:

OpenRTClient libOpenRT.so libRTX.so

OpenRT client OpenRTRT kernel library OpenRTRT shaders library

PDF 3D export required Libraries

The following files must be redistributed if your application uses PDF 3D export:

libhpdf.so libIFXCore.so Plugins/IFXExporting.so Plugins/IFXScheduling.so

Other Required Libraries

On 32-bit Solaris only, the following libraries are required by VolumeViz 7.2.

libvli3.so.3.2
libvli3.so (a symlink to libvli3.so.3.2)

These files are for the support of the VolumePro boards from TeraRecon and are provided with the Open Inventor SDK. They must be present even if you will not be using the VolumePro boards.

Resource File for Viewers (Motif only)

The strings used for labeling GUI components and menu items in a standard Open Inventor viewer are supplied in the following Motif resource file:

<OIV_INSTALL_DIR>/app-defaults/Inventor

This file should be distributed with your application and placed where Motif will find it. Motif searches in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults as well as in the directories specified by the XAPPLRESDIR environment variable. See Motif documentation for further details.

NOTE: If you forget to supply this resource file, the internal widget names will be used for the names; the strings will all start with the prefix "Iv".
