Registering and Upgrading a Trial Version to Full License

If you already have a version of CMaps Plugin installed in SAP Dashboards here are important notes to move from “trial mode” to full version.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRIAL AND FULL VERSION?

In the trial component you copy paste the trial key (usually 9 digits) into the spreadsheet. This approach is invalidated for a full license. A full license key file will ensure you can use CMaps Plugin an authentication key file instead of a trial key.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY REGISTRATION SUCCEEDED

Once you register CMaps Plugin on your desktop computer, the “Key” property will no longer appear inside of the component property sheet. Additionally, if you navigate to the Information Tab and scroll to the bottom you can obtain your license + authentication key which is used for support purposes.

5. Obtain and Install License Key File

The following process will register your product.

1. Obtain a Key File from CMaps Analytics. A key file is a SWF file. 
2. Copy the key file to C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Xcelsius 4.0\assets\propertySheets

6. Install CMaps Plugin .XLX File

Using the XLX file included inside of the zip, you will install your add-on directly inside of SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards.

3. Click Install Add-On

Troubleshooting CMaps Plugin

SYMPTOM: When I restart Xcelsius, I get errors thrown or the canvas shows up black.
SOLUTION: This is caused when you install CMaps Plugin which is built with Flex 4, into a Flex 2 version of SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards (earlier than 6.0.3). If you are using an older Flex2 version of SAP Dashboards, please contact Centigon Solutions sales to check availability of using GMaps Plugin.

SYMPTOM: When I preview my dashboard works OK, but when I publish to my server I get the following error:
“Deployment to domains is not supported with the trial version of CMaps plugin. If you need support to demo the trial on your domain, please click OK and we will be happy to assist you. Please include the following url in your support request:â€�

SOLUTION: This is expected behavior for the trial version. If you attempted to install the full version and still get this error, please log a case at our customer support portal.
