For Windows

>The supported version of TLS is 1.2 (and higher).

>TLS 1.2 is enabled by default for versions later than Windows Server 2012.

NOTE   To run SCP on Windows Server 2012, you need to apply the Microsoft patch for TLS 1.2 support. Go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3140245/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-a-default-secure-protocols-in. Download the "easy fix" and install it.

If the SCP_CONFIG_FILEPATH_<Vendor_Alias> environment variable is set, place it at the path mentioned in the environment variable.

If the SCP_CONFIG_FILEPATH_<Vendor_Alias> environment variable is not set, place it at the location where the licensed application exists.

NOTE   In the absence of cacert.pem file, the following error is thrown when the license application is executed: "Configuration supplied are invalid/incomplete".

For Mac, Android, and Linux ARM
