Question:

How can I install and configure the hardlock license server?



Note:

You can find a PDF file with detailed instructions in the ..\Manual\<language> subfolder of the setup folder (see below). Below is a brief description of the most important steps.



Answer:

At the server

• The hardlock license server runs on the following operating systems: Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional or Windows 2003 Server. Although additional operating systems are possible, they are not approved officially. The 64-bit versions of the operating systems stated above require a special hardlock driver, which you need to install. To do this, follow this link:
  ftp://ftp.ealaddin.com/pub/aladdin.de/hardlock/hldrv32.zip
• You can find the license server setup on our FTP server:
  ftp://nemhotline:ha37jvg8f@ftp.nemetschek.de/download/Allplan/Lizenzserver/2005/Lizenzserver_2005.0c.zip
• Click 'setup.exe' to start installing the license server. You can choose any folder for the installation folder. Please connect the dongle to the server before you start installing.
• When the installation is complete, open the License Manager of the license server. The License Manager should not issue any error messages, and all the licenses should be displayed on the "Licenses" tab.

At the client

• You usually use the license of the license server to install the client. If the client has already been installed, you can also install this license later. To do this, open the Services application, click Utilities -> License -> Install HARDLOCK license.
• Next, you need to configure the License Manager of the client for the license server. To do this, open the Services application again, click Utilities -> License -> License Settings, and switch to "License server via RPC" in the "Licenses" area on the "General" tab. Finally, type in the computer name of the license server in the "Computer with license server service" box at bottom right and click "Apply". If you do not see an error message, the client is now connected with the license server. That's all!
