Question : How do I safely unload the viewer?

Question : Where do I put the license key?

Answer :

You either enter the license key into desktop publisher (if thats what you’re using) and desktop publisher will set it for you automatically as part of the publishing process

or

You set it manually by populating the key parameter in javascript where the viewer is getting created like so:

        $(’#documentViewer’).FlexPaperViewer(
                { config : {
                …
                key : “$YOUR_KEY”,               
                …
</p>
                }}
        );
