[Thermo Scientific License Manager]
Process
When you work with floating licenses, you generally have an external server with all the floating licenses. To configure a server:
1. Launch Thermo Scientific License Manager:
- If you have not activated any product, Thermo Scientific License Manager indicates that no product is activated on your computer. To continue, click Add license(s), then License Server.
- If you already have one or more products activated on your computer, Thermo Scientific License Manager lists the activated products. From the Server tab, click Add Server to continue.
2. In the license server display, enter the server name (or its IP address) followed by a port if there is a specific one (if not specified, the default port range is 27000-27009):
server_name|IP>:<port>
Please consult KA-01317 "License Manager: Find Server Name and Port" for more information.
3. Click Save to add the server to the list of available sources to search for licenses.
If Thermo Scientific License Manager can reach the server, the available features display in the Server tab. Click Refresh to update the displayed information, including server status, available licenses, and tokens.
Issue & Suggested Solutions
If Thermo Scientific License Manager can not reach the server, the Floating server not alive dialog displays. This dialog provides information about the server connection error and offers suggestions to resolve it.
- Select Change to change the server configuration,
- or Save anyway, despite the "Not Alive" status.
If the license server status is "Not Alive", no licenses display in the Server tab.
Additional Actions in the Server Tab
- Click Disconnect next to the license server name to deactivate it.
- Click Edit next to the license server name to change its settings.
Notes
For Linux users: To take your license settings into account, make sure you start the product from a new terminal after saving your license server configuration.
