Appendix E: APPX Environment Variables

Windows Variables

APPX_BIG_BUTTONS

Specifies that the "big button" GUI style should be used for the APPX Win32 client ("appx -c").

Valid values: 1

Default value: not set

APPX_NET_HASP

Specifies a network security HASP to login to. This variable was made obsolete by new HASP processing which is local, and does not use a HASP server, but is documented here for completeness.

Valid values: network security HASP server

Default value: not set

HASPTTY

Identifies the serial port that the HASP is attached to. To install a HASP on a Linux or SCO Unix system running on Intel (PC) hardware:

  1. Get a 25-pin to 9-pin serial port adapter. (The HASP has 25 pins; PC serial ports have 9 pins.)
  2. Install adapter and HASP onto PC serial port.
  3. Set the environment variable (in autoexec.bat, or in $APPXPATH\appx.env):

HASPTTY=/dev/cua0

(If you install the HASP on the second port of a 2-port PC, the address will be /dev/cua1.)

  1. Run APPX. No driver is needed. The serial number in the upper right hand box of the registration screen should match the HASP ID.

Valid values: /dev/cua0, /dev/cua1

Default value: not set
