Frequently Asked Questions about Activation
Do I need to Install Identity Manager on a specific server?
Yes. As a Bundle Edition user, you must install Identity Manager on the server where you installed
Open Enterprise Server. In order for activation to work properly, you must install Identity Manager
on Linux or NetWare, and create a driver set on that server.
I installed the Bundle Edition on Linux or NetWare, but it's not activated. Why is this?
You must install the Bundle Edition on the server where OES exists. If you install it on a non-OES
server, the Bundle Edition cannot activate.
Can I run Identity Manager on a Windows Server?
Not with the Bundle Edition. However, you can still synchronize data held on a Windows server by
using the Identity Manager Remote Loader service. The Remote Loader enables synchronization
between the DirXML Engine (on your Linux or NetWare server) and a remote driver (on the
Windows server.) See Setting Up a Connected System (http://www.novell.com/documentation/
idm36/admin/data/bs35odr.html) for more information.
In order to run Identity Manager on a Windows server, you need to purchase Novell Identity
Manager.
Can I run Identity Manager on a Solaris or AIX Server?
Not with the Bundle Edition. However, you can still synchronize data held on these platforms by
using the Identity Manager Remote Loader service. The Remote Loader enables synchronization
between the Metadirectory Engine and a remote driver (on the Solaris or AIX server.) See Setting
Up a Connected System (http://www.novell.com/documentation/idm36/admin/data/bs35odr.html)
for more information.
In order to run Identity Manager on Solaris or AIX, you need to purchase Novell Identity Manager.
My drivers stopped working. What happened?
You might have installed the Bundle Edition on a non-OES server. The Bundle Edition must be
installed on your Linux or NetWare server where OES exists. If Identity Manager is installed on a
non-OES platform, activation cannot work. After 90 days, your drivers will stop running.
I purchased an additional Integration Module. Why doesn't it work?
With your OES purchase, you are entitled to use the Bundle Edition products. If you want to add
new Integration Modules, you also need to purchase Novell Identity Manager. The Integration
Module cannot activate until you purchase Novell Identity Manager.
If I purchase a license for Novell Identity Manager and a license for an additional
Integration Module, do I need to re-install the software?
No, you just need to install the activation credentials associated with your purchase.
