AVIX COMMAND LINE

ARGUMENTS

Arguments ACCEPTEDaccepted BYby AVIX

Apart from arguments inherited from the application platform used by AVIX – Eclipse RCP - a few arguments have been added by Solme.

Information about arguments that are accepted by the platform can be found on the Eclipse project on the web. For the Luna platform the information can be found here.

-clearlicensedata

If set, the current license data on the computer will be flushed when the application is started. This can be useful to do if the existing license data becomes corrupt. Use with care as this will wipe away any fixed or checked out license.

-disableSingleInstanceCheck

If set this disables the mechanism that makes sure that all AVIX windows are run in the same process. This can be useful to do if the existing license data becomes corrupt. This can be useful to enable different version of AVIX to be run at the same time. AVIX files opened via File -> Open from within a running AVIX will still coexist in the same process Using it comes with some limitations, It is not possible to copy+paste data between AVIX windows that belong to different processes.
