There are three main sections available: Basic, Server and Advanced. They can be selected by hovering over the Configuration tab.

Tip: For a more detailed description, click the question mark on top of the page to see the CodeMeter User Help.

Basic Configuration

Server Search List

The Server Search List is used to configure a connection to a license server on a client.

To add a new server to the list, click add new Server and provide the hostname or IP address of the license server.

When there are multiple servers added, it is possible to change the order. Per default, Vizrt Software products always check for available licenses on the first server in the list, before moving to the other servers.

Proxy

In this section the proxy preference can be selected.

Server

Server Access

The Server Access is the main setting required to run a license server. This setting needs to be enabled to allow clients to connect to the license server and access licenses.

License Access Permissions

The License Access Permissions allows access to rules for licenses. It is possible to reserve licenses for specified clients using the IP address of the client. Reserved licenses on the server cannot be accessed by other clients.
