1. Log into a Terminal window as root.
2. Type: ps -ef | grep mozilla <↵>
3. Terminate the mozilla process by typing:

Caution
Information in this procedure is for internal installations only. It is not intended for general field use.
By default, Remote Services will assume that the product has a production license issued by Xerox
Document & Support Services (XDSS). Sometimes, however, a Xerox site such as a training center or
customer support center is issued an internal test license from a different database than the one used by
XDSS. If a product has been issued an internal test license, Remote Services will not function properly until
it has been reconfigured.
If you know for certain that the product’s license was issued by XDSS, continue with the setup and
configuration procedure. The following steps are not applicable.
If you are uncertain as to the type of license installed on the product, determine the license type using the
License Validation Tool.
NOTE
Use of the validation tool requires access to the Xerox Intranet.
If you are unable to access the License Validation Tool, call the Xerox License Center and verify that the
license was issued by them. Write down the Host ID and Serial Number before placing the call.

Internal Test Licenses are issued by the engineering teams supporting each product. If an internal license
has expired, or other difficulties are encountered, escalate problem through normal channels.
Reconfiguring Remote Services for an Internal Test License
If the product has an internal test license, complete the following steps BEFORE starting Section 6.1.1 of
this guide:
__1. At the FreeFlow Print Server, open a Terminal window and login as root.
NOTE
Make every attempt to register Remote Services from the product UI. If it is necessary to register from
another computer, DO NOT use the registration url shown in Sect 6.1.3 (it is for registering products with a
production license). Products with an internal test license must use the following registration site:
