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.

To set the computer as a License Server, follow the steps:
Step 1: Open CodeMeter WebAdmin. This can be done by:
Opening CodeMeter Control Central and pressing the button WebAdmin:
