License Server Installation

 
License Server can be activated after the CodeMeter installation. When using the CodeMeterAct licensing system over a network, the computer which has the license has to be set as License Server. So any other computer that runs Astrow will request license slots to the License Server. If the license is used only locally (the License Server is on the same computer with the computer running Astrow), this setting is not needed.
 
License Server Installation
 
Only a computer with a valid activated license must be set as License Server!
 
To set the computer as a License Server, follow the steps:
 
Step 1: Open CodeMeter WebAdmin. This can be done by:
 
 
Opening CodeMeter WebAdmin
 
Step 2: Go to Configuration - Server and select the Run Network Server checkbox.
 
CodeMeter Network Configuration in WebAdmin page
 
Step 3: On all client computers in WebAdmin - Configuration - Network, check if the license server IP address is specified in Server Search List. If not, click add:
 
CodeMeter Network Configuration in Client PC WebAdmin page
 
Write the license server IP address in the new window opened and click OK:
 
CodeMeter Network Configuration enter the server name in  WebAdmin page
 
Press Apply button to finish the operation.
 
Step 4: Restart the service after setting the license server IP address on client computers. To restart the service, go to CodeMeter Control Center  - Process - Stop CodeMeter Service.
 
CodeMeter Control Center stopping the service
 
Then select Process - Start CodeMeter Service.
 
Now the computer License Network Server will provide CodeMeterAct licenses to any computer from the local network.
 
License Server can be run on separate PC than Astrow PCs if needed.
 
If an USB Dongle is used, the License Server must run on the PC where the USB Dongle is plugged in (or it is accessible by a USB Hub).
