First chose a Windows server to run the license server software on. We tested the license server manager on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.The Marin License server works with the IPv4 protocol.
Then request a license file. First, you need to request a certificate-based license. To use certificate-based licensing only a license file is needed. This license is fixed to a specific hardware ID of your server. To provide this hardware ID you need to execute the following command in a DOS window:

ipconfig/all > hostid.txt |
retrieve the host ID. Return the hostid.txt, the MARIN product name and version for which you need a license together with your request to: to support@marin.nlTo use certificate-based floating licenses a license manager is required.
