SegueSoft Inc. (SSI) has acquired all rights to SilverCreek, Maxwell Pro TCP/IP Tests, and the IWL MQTT Tests from InterWorking Labs, Inc. (IWL).

Download SilverCreek for Linux (Fedora 7+, RHEL 6+, Unbuntu 18+, Debian 10+ and OpenSuSE 15+):

  • Go to https://download.seguesoft.com
  • Enter your username and password
  • Download SilverCreek for Linux
  • Once the downloading has completed, extract the package from the downloaded file, as follows:
    % tar -xzvf tar file.gz
    For example:
    % tar -xzvf sc-m3-2013.111228-linux.tar.gz
    Here, tarfile is the name of the file to be extracted.
    After extracting the package, please DO NOT try to uncompress disk*.Z file further; follow instructions below:

Run the install.sh scripts

  • The installation script will start as setup wizard to guide you through the rest of the installation process.
  • You can start the installation by moving to the extracted directory (e.g., sc-m3-2011.111228) cd sc-m3-2011.111228
  • and then run the following command: ./install.sh
  • The installation script will start a setup wizard to guide you through the rest of the installation process.
    By default, you will need a Graphical User Interface (GNOME, KDE, or any X server set up as the DISPLAY) to complete the installation.
    If you are installing on a headless Linux system, run the command ./install.sh -t

Start the application to get the Host ID

  • To start SilverCreek, move to the installed target directory (e.g.,/home/mary/silvercreekMx)
  • Initiate the application as shown below:
    ./bin/test-agent (to start test suites and tools)
    ./bin/browse-agent (to start tools only, not test suites)
  • Upon SilverCreek startup, you will be given a HostID in the “License File Required” window.
  • You can also get a HostID by executing the command ./flmid in SilverCreek’s “bin” directory.
  • Send an email to support@seguesoft.com, including your Serial Number, the Host ID and the installed product (e.g., sc-m3-2011.111228-linux.tar.gz)

Install the license file you received to unlock the software

  • You will receive a new FortLM license file via email. (Be sure to check your spam folder if you have not received it.)
  • After receiving the new fortlm_license.lic file, you need to install it into SilverCreek’s home directory.
    For example, if you installed SilverCreek in /home/bob/silvercreekMX, then you should place the fortlm_license.lic in /home/bob/silvercreekMx
    NOTE: You must retain the file name as fortlm_license.lic.
  • Alternatively, if you saved the fortlm_license.lic file to a folder on your computer, you can click the ‘Import’ button to copy it into SilverCreek’s home directory when prompted for the license after starting SilverCreek.

Congratulations!

You should be up and running!
