Software Certification and Registration

Certification Mechanism

This software uses a certification mechanism to unlock it's binaries. If you install the software on your server, you should read this section.

First, download and install Alkaline. If you are a commercial company, pay for a license.

You should be able to perform search operations and navigate to the admin section. If you are unable to navigate to the admin section, or if you do not know how to do that, please refer to the Alkaline FAQ.

From the admin links, choose the Certification link. A form is shown. If the form is not shown and a message, such as "a valid certificate is installed for this server", then you have already performed the certification operations.

Fill in and post the form. You must provide valid information, especially your email address. The form contains the certificate request field for your server. If you are on a private network and cannot post the form to the internet, copy the certificate and fill a similar form at http://www.vestris.com/certify/certify.html . You should immediately receive a success message and a confirmation email within a few minutes.

You may receive an email stating that the request was invalid or that the certification has been refused. Read that email carefully and try to correct the problem. If you are still having certification problems, please email admin@vestris.com .

Upon successful completion of your request, you will receive the certificate in an email. Copy-paste the certificate to the same certification form under the Unlock Key section. Submit the certificate. This should succeed and the nags will be removed. Check the other frequently asked questions about certification if the server has returned a particular error.
