Note: This product includes OpenSSL version 1.1.1c.
Before installing this product, you must have the following software installed on your computer:
- The "ed", "sed" and "tar" utilities must be installed and added to the PATH.
- On Red Hat, if SELinux is installed, the "SELINUX" configuration must be disabled. To do this, set
SELINUX=disabled in
/etc/selinux/config.
This enables the Micro Focus License daemons to start when the machine is booted and the Micro Focus tools and programs to
run correctly.
- 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.
On Red Hat 8.1, pax is no longer installed by default. You must install the spax version found in the OS ISO. Use the
yum install spax command.
- 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.

- 1On SUSE 12 or 15, you can only install the 64-bit version of this product. The glibc-locale-32bit library is still required
by the SafeNet Sentinel licensed components.
- 2On 64-bit Red Hat 7, you only need to install glibc-2.17*.x86_64 and glibc-2.17*.i686.
- Java 8 (32 or 64-bit versions), and Java 11 (64-bit version only) are supported for executing JVM COBOL code and for native
COBOL and Java interoperability. You can download
AdoptOpenJDK's OpenJDK 8 with Hotspot from
AdoptOpenJDK's Web site and unpack the archive 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 any network license servers, you must update them before you update the client machines.
If you are upgrading from
Visual COBOL release 2.2 or earlier, uninstall the license manager before installing the product.
You can download the new version of the license server software from the
Micro Focus SupportLine Web site:
