Step 4. Protection Setup

In the next step, we will open the protection setup and find the licenses.

If you have opened the protection setup, you must choose the correct type of license.

If you choose type = floating, then you can make both the student, try-out and server license work. As long as you input the correct path.

Possible questions/problems

àThe box where I should see the licenses is empty! How can this be?

Three possible reasons:

  1. The server pc cannot be reached
  2. The port on the server pc cannot be reached
  3. A different program is already using the port on the server

àHow can I test if this pc can reach the server pc?

Ping to the server pc. More explanation can be found in chapter "How to ping to the server pc"

àHow can I test if this pc can reach the correct port on the server pc?

Telnet to the server pc. More explanation can be found in chapter "How to use telnet to check the connection to the port on the server pc".

àHow can I change the port number (default = 27000) used by the license server?

More explanation can be found in chapter "Change the License Server Manager port in use"
