Note: This product includes OpenSSL version 1.0.2n.
Before installing this product, you must have the following software installed on your computer:
- The pax archiving utility is required by the setup file. Pax is distributed with most UNIX/Linux systems but, if it is missing,
you must install it separately. To verify pax is installed, run
pax --help or
pax --version at the command line.
- Required libraries for Red Hat and SUSE Linux platforms - The installer checks that both the 32-bit and 64-bit libraries listed
below are installed on both 32-bit and on 64-bit Operating Systems for this product to install and work correctly.
If installing on a 64-bit OS, the 32-bit libraries are not installed by default and must be installed before you start the
installation.

- ¹ On SUSE 12, you can only install the 64-bit version of this product. The glibc-locale-32bit library is required.
- Java 7, 8 (32 or 64-bit versions), and Java 9 (64-bit version only) are supported for executing JVM COBOL code and for native
COBOL and Java interoperability. You can download Oracle's Java from
Oracle's Web site and install it anywhere on your machine.
Note:
- On AIX and zLinux, you need to have IBM's JDK. The earliest supported release of IBM's JDK is 7.0 Service Refresh 8. If you
install IBM's JDK 8, on AIX you must install its latest fix - JDK 8 SR5 FP16. You can get IBM's AIX JDK from
IBM's Web site.
- On HP-UX, you need to have HP-UX JDK. The earliest supported release of HP-UX is JDK 7.0.11. You can get the HP-UX Java JDK
from
HP's Web site.
- On Solaris platforms (both SPARC and Intel) only the 64-bit version of Java 8 and later is supported.
Before you start the installation, you need to set the environment as follows:
- You need to set the LANG environment variable to pick up localized messages. The LANG settings are English and Japanese only.
- JavaScript or scripting support must be enabled in your browser, so that Enterprise Server Administration is usable. Also,
active content must be allowed and not blocked.
Important: For local servers, you do not need to install the
Micro Focus License Administration tool separately, as the setup file installs a new
Visual COBOL client and a new licensing server on the same machine.
If you have a network server, you must update the license server before installing the product as the client is not able
to communicate with license servers of versions older than 10000.2.660. To check the version of the license server on UNIX, run
/var/microfocuslicensing/bin/mfcesver or
/var/microfocuslicensing/bin/cesadmintool.sh.
If Micro Focus License Manager version 10000.2.02070 or older is installed, it must be uninstalled before the product installation
or upgrade can continue.
You can download the new version of the license server software from the
Micro Focus SupportLine Web site:
