installed and validated on the Xmedia Server, click Enter License. The License Manager
opens and you can follow the instructions in the Release Notes for acquiring and installing
a software license.
• If you suspect that the cause of the license error is that Xplorer is connected to the wrong
Xmedia Server (the license resides on another Xmedia Server), click Change Server.
Xplorer’s S
ETTINGS window opens and displays the XMS page (figure 2-2 ). In the X MEDIA
S ERVER IP A DDRESS field, type the IP address of the Xmedia Server that holds a valid
Xplorer license. Click OK.
