Network (floating) licensing requires a CFturbo license server software running on a server machine. The license server controls access of the clients to the CFturbo licenses.
The server machine should have the following properties:
•The operating system of the server machine has to be Microsoft Windows.
It's highly recommended to use a server system (Windows Server 20xx).
•The server machine must be accessible from the CFturbo clients.
Server machine and CFturbo clients shall be in the same local area network (LAN), unless a regional or a global license were purchased.
The use of the floating licenses across locations (WAN) is allowed with the corresponding license agreement only.
•The server machine should be always running, have high-speed Ethernet connection and a moderate level of network traffic.
•All license related files must be located on a local computer disk of the server machine.
•The server machine must have a static IP address.
•Make sure that the time and date of the server machine is correct. Do not manipulate these settings manually.
If the installation recommendations are not met, warnings will pop-up during the installation process. The user must confirm that he has read and understood this information in order to continue with the installation.
The CFturbo license server software can be installed and used on a Virtual Machine. Even if the most well-known suppliers (for example VMware) are supported, the CFturbo license handling has not been tested and certified on all Virtual Machine environments. Problems related to the use of virtual servers cannot be resolved by the CFturbo support and should be reported to the Virtual Machine supplier.
Note, that using Virtual Machines to duplicate the available CFturbo licenses is explicitly prohibited.
For using CFturbo with a floating license the following steps have to be performed:
1.Setup the CFturbo license server
2.Request a license using the Request Generator
3.Copy the received license file in the CFturbo license server installation directory
4.Configure the CFturbo clients for accessing the floating license
