License Installation

VRcontext delivers two different types of licenses:

  • Node locked licenses
  • Floating licenses.

The important new concept is the VRhostID. It is an unique identifier for the computer where the license will be running.

Node Lock

Floating

Definition:

A Node lock license file is encrypted to a user-specified workstation or laptop, defined by the VRhostID. This license type is non-shareable. In a multi-user environment, the user must have one license file for every workstation or laptop running Walkinside.

Definition:

A Floating license file is encrypted to a user-specified server, defined by the VRhostID. This license type is sharable. Walkinside may be installed on multiple workstations. When Walkinside is launched, it will proceed to check out a license file from the user-specified server. In a multi-user environment, the server will continue distributing licenses until the purchased quantity is depleted. All workstations are required to have network visibility to the server in order to utilize floating licenses.

  • Step 1:Install FLEXnet on the user-specified server using the Walkinside installation package: This creates the directory ‘Flexlm’
  • Step 2: Use LMtools to configure the FLEXnet license server
  • Step 3: Start the Walkinside license service
  • Step 4: Copy FLEXnet license in Walkinside\VRLicense installation folder on client machines or specify the user-specified server on the client machine.
