Downloading the license

In most cases, Fuse IDE can download and install your license in a single step.

However, if your firewall or proxy settings prevent Eclipse from connecting to the FuseSource Web site to download the license, you can download the license using a Web browser and install it manually.

From within Eclipse

To register your version of Fuse IDE:

  1. Select Fuse IDE > Preferences from the menu bar to open the Preferences editor.

  2. From the directory tree, select Fuse IDE > Subscription to open the Subscription preference panel.

  3. In the Name field, enter the name associated with your FuseSource subscription.

  4. In the Password field, enter the password associated with your FuseSource subscription.

  5. Click Download Subscription License to add the license to Fuse IDE.

If your license successfully downloads, the expiration date appears in the Expiration Date field.

[Tip]Tip

This procedure also installs your license file, so you need not click Install License File.
