To run LuciadFusion, you need a license file that is provided to you by our Customer Services department.
Automatic installation
If you installed LuciadFusion with install.jar, the license has been installed automatically from the specified file location.
You need an extra license to fuse data with the Data Connectivity Manager.
Custom installation
If your license files were not installed during the regular installation procedure, or if you are working with license servers
or hardware keys, see the License how-to guides.
To automate the startup of the license server, check this article .
Testing and troubleshooting the license installation
To test your license installation, run one of the decoder samples. If the sample does not work, refer to the License troubleshooting page.
Sample problems may also have to do with platform and Java support. Check the Hardware and software requirements.

Optimize your data
For most geospatial data, on-the-fly serving is the quickest way of getting it published.
Some types of data still benefit from preliminary tiling and multi-leveling, though. To learn the
recommended approach for several data types, see Pre-process data or serve it on-the-fly.
If you want to pre-process data in the LuciadFusion Data Connectivity Manager (DCM) desktop application:
- Start the LuciadFusion Data Connectivity Manager by clicking Data Connectivity Manager on the LuciadFusion launcher (
start.jar).
- Find out how to use the DCM, by having a look at the user guide .
