To activate the MARIN software product using a floating license on a license server you need to:
...
- chose a Windows server to run the license server software on;
- request a certificate-based license file for your product to run on that server;
- install the FlexNET Publisher license server manager, including the MARIN specific license daemon, on your license server;
- import the license for your product with the license server manager.
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. . To use certificate-based licensing only a license file is needed. License files can be used to hold nodelocked or floating licenses. This license is fixed to a specific hardware ID of your PC or server. To provide this hardware ID you need to execute the following command in a DOS window:
| Code Block |
|---|
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.nl
Floating licenses
.
For installing and using the FlexNET license server see: Installing the license server.
After installing the FlexNET license server and importing the license file, To use certificate-based floating licenses a license manager is required. This license manager comes in two parts; the FLEXnet publisher license manager and the specific MARIN license manager. The MARIN license manager requires the FLEXnet publisher license manager 11.9 or higher. If a FLEXnet server already exists and is operational, only the installation of the MARIN License Manager is needed.
After successfully importing the MARIN floating license file into the FLEXnet license manager the licenses are available to ‘float’ around the network.
