How Can I Share a CodeMeter License?

With a Standard License

• Use a USB-Device-Server DS-600 from Silex or a similar products.
• Test it internally and then in a second step over internet (if required)
• Setup depends on LAN structure (VPN, Router, firewalls etc.)

With a Floating License

• The floating license must be requested when ordering.
• The CodeMeter license server offers services to other CodeMeter clients which run in the same LAN (Local Area Network) or in a distributed setup. On all computers where a go2signals application is correctly installed a CodeMeter license server is set up. When the go2signals application is started on a computer then the software will communicate with the CodeMeter license server on this computer. The CodeMeter client then gets a license for running the application either from the locally plugged in CodeMeter license server or it searches the LAN for other CodeMeter license servers.
• The CodeMeter network license server may be located in the LAN, in the WAN, or operated in the cloud.

Important:

• You need a license file (default.maw) on the client computer with “License sharing” enabled.
  Must be specified when ordering!
• Searching for a license in a large network can be very time-consuming (sometimes up to 1-2 minutes)

Setting Up a Basic CodeMeter Server

• Install the CodeMeter software on the server computer (if not already installed with a go2signals product).
• Connect the dongles on the server computer
• In the CodeMeter webAdmin, Configuration, Server: Enable the Network Server
• Restart CodeMeter
• Depending on the network, setup routers, firewalls etc.
• For additional details consult the CodeMeter manual

Setting Up a CodeMeter Client

• In the CodeMeter webAdmin, Configuration, Basic, Search List:
  If the server is not in the same sub-net, enter the Server Name or the IP address to the search list.
• Restart go2monitor and check if the software will start. During start-up, you should see a message like “Scanning for Network dongle, please wait”

In case of problems:

• Remove local dongles
• Check if in your network port 22350 is not blocked (router, firewall, mobile network etc.)
