License installation

On-line license

Create a member profile and buy on line with your credit card. At startup the tool will check license validity on our web site. That means an active internet connection is required when using the tool.

Local license server

A license server provides licenses to clients on the local area network. The license file is dedicated to the server and requires to identify it through a hostname and a hostid. Below is explained how to get the hostname and hostid needed to generate the license file.

    Download and run the utility for your license server architecture:
  • For a FLEXlm license server
    Please note our most recent versions do not support FLEXlm any more.

Still the computer must be uniquely identified through a hostname and a hostid. The identification utilities are the same as the one for the license server, download and run the utility for your license server architecture:
