License Manager - Client Side

Access: Open this function from the following location:

Press the License Information button in the License Server Monitor

A flexible licensing system enables you to make the most efficient use of your software licenses. The system supports two types of licenses; Local-Node License (also called a Node-Locked or Standalone license) and Floating License (also called a Network license). A Local-Node and Floating license can be used together; this is called Mixed Mode.

The License Manager is a tool to manage your license. You can either view your license, set your local license or connect to your server license (setting its name or IP).

The License Manager defines the path to the local license file (received from your Provider or Reseller), which your product uses to verify the license. The License Manager also displays license information per product and version number.

To use this product, you require a license file. The license file is sent to you by your local Provider or Reseller. This license is issued for a specific computer and Hasp number.

The License Manager can be invokedinvoked(for instructions on how to invoke this, press the Access button at the top of this Help topic) from the License Server Monitor and shows the license information and version number per product. Either display your own licenses or all user licenses.

The License Manager dialog is displayed showing the client computer's installed Cimatron software:

Note that the example shows the Deactivate button for the Locked license.

See the explanation for the Dialog Options and Dialog Buttons below.

The License Manager dialog enables you to view multiple license files. Toggling the Licenses drop-down list from All Licenses to My Licenses filters those licenses that match the Machine Key and HASP_ID of the protection device connected to the PC.

The file, CimLmLib_Client.log, tracks any possible errors in the event the license is unavailable.

License files (node-locked licenses and floating licenses) can be placed in the same folder.
