this installation, you have the opportunity to register the product. InterBase

to use it without registering during the grace

the product provides a base level of functionality; the exact level of

functionality depends on whether you are installing the Desktop Edition or the

processors, or to license the product for Internet use, you need to purchase

more licenses from the CodeGear shop site

or from your sales representative. The license key and registration are

explained in the Licensing chapter of the Operations Guide. You

will find this and the other InterBase books in the interbase_home /doc

directory. See Licensing users and processors below for

If you are installing InterBase 2009 on a

machine for the first time, you need to register the product as part of

the installation. This applies to upgrades from previous versions, as

well as to completely new installations. To prepare for the registration

phase of the install, be sure you have the following handy:

The Serial Number is provided on the jacket of

Your CodeGear Developer Network user name and

password. If you have ever registered a CodeGear product before, you are

a member of the CodeGear Developer Network and have a user name and

password for it. You may be a member of the Network if you joined it

online even if you have never previously registered a CodeGear product.

If you are not a member of CDN, you will have an opportunity to join

during the registration phase of your installation.

If you use a dial-up connection to the Internet

registration method, establish the Internet connection before beginning

If you are upgrading from a previous version,

you should also perform the following actions:

Before un-installing a previous InterBase

version, back up any existing databases using your existing version of

InterBase. InterBase 2009 uses an on-disk structure, ODS 13.0. This is

required to accommodate new system tables, and changes to existing

system tables. Databases created with earlier versions of InterBase are

not automatically upgraded to ODS 13.0 when an InterBase 2009 server

attaches to these databases. To migrate these databases to the new ODS,

backup these databases with the older version of InterBase and restore

them using InterBase 2009 IBConsole or gbak.

Make a backup copy of your security database admin.ib by default.

Stop the InterBase server and un-install

For example, if the following values

are saved in a file named values.txt, and you execute the command: ib_install.exe /s /m values.txt, you will launch the silent

installer with the settings from this file. If the values file is not found,

the Silent Install will assume the default values as detailed above.

You can also provide custom values

via such files to the GUI installer by executing ib_install.exe without the /s flag.
