Windows key in a linux server?

[BitBass]

I know I saw something about this, but I'm having trouble searching the forum for a 3 character term. I'm coming from Windows with a key, and would like to use the linux version going forward. How do I install the key? Can I?

Thanks!

1. Linux built from source: put your SageTV license key in a file called 'activkey' in the same folder as your SageTV install
2. Windows built from source: put your SageTV license key in a global environment variable called 'SAGETVUSERKEY'
3. Windows using updated jar method: no action required

Is that right? Something for a future STVOS FAQ sticky.

Should probably answer the question, and the reccomended/best method to use is actually using Google to search the forum.
