Activate a FactoryTalk Optix Runtime entitlement on Ubuntu 22.04 devices

The
FactoryTalk® Optix
Runtime Tools Ubuntu 22.04 package consists of the
FactoryTalk® Optix
Application Update Service and the
FactoryTalk® Optix
Entitlement Manager CLI program (FTOptixEntitlementCli.sh).
NOTE: A runtime device running Ubuntu can have multiple licenses. Each runtime device is associated with one of the available entitlements.

    FTOptixEntitlementCli.Ubuntu_22_x64.[version].sh
    file as described in the Set up Runtime Tools on Ubuntu 22.04 devices procedure.
  2. Enter the following commands:
    1. chmod +x FTOptixEntitlementCli.Ubuntu_22_x64.[version].sh
    2. sudo ./FTOptixEntitlementCli.Ubuntu_22_x64.[version].sh
  3. Restart Ubuntu and proceed with the entitlement activation.

NOTE: To prevent the
FTOptixEntitlementCli.sh
