Unix-like OS (AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, etc.)

# Open a Unix terminal.
# <code> *cd* </code> into the root of your Virtuoso installation.
# Use one of the following commands to set Virtuoso-related environment variables.  (Note that they do, and 
must, begin with dot-space-dot-slash.)
* <code> <b>. ./virtuoso-enterprise.sh</b> </code> &mdash; bash, bsh, ksh, and related shells
* <code> <b>. ./virtuoso-enterprise.csh</b> </code> &mdash; csh, tcsh, and related shells
# Execute the command, <code> <b>oplmgr +stop</b> </code>
# Retrieve your new Virtuoso license file from an email or [[ODSBriefcaseLicenseStorage|ODS briefcase]]. 
Use binary-mode ftp to transfer the new license to the Unix box, if required.
# Place the new license in the bin sub-directory of the Virtuoso installation.
# Set and export an <b><code><nowiki>OPL_LICENSE_DIR</nowiki></code></b> environment variable 
that passes the path to the directory that contains your Virtuoso license file, e.g. &mdash;
* <code> <b>{{{export OPL_LICENSE_DIR="/opt/virtuoso/bin/"}}}</b> </code>
* <code> <b>{{{OPL_LICENSE_DIR="/opt/virtuoso/bin/" ; export OPL_LICENSE_DIR}}}</b> </code>
# Execute the command, <code> <b>oplmgr +start</b> </code>
