Activate a FactoryTalk Optix Runtime entitlement on Ubuntu 22 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).
TIP: A runtime device running Ubuntu can have multiple entitlements. Each runtime device is associated with one of the available entitlements.
  1. Download the
    FTOptixEntitlementCli.Ubuntu_22_x64.
    [version]
    .sh
     file as described in the Set up Runtime Tools on Ubuntu 22.04 devices procedure.
  2. Do the following:
    1. Enter
      chmod +x FTOptixEntitlementCli.Ubuntu_22_x64.[version].sh
    2. Enter
      sudo ./FTOptixEntitlementCli.Ubuntu_22_x64.
      [version]
      .sh
  3. Restart Ubuntu and proceed with the entitlement activation.

 file.
