Chaos License Server version 6.0 provides licensing of the Chaos product= s without the need for any physical devices to be plugged into your machine= . It allows you to easily activate more licenses right after the purchase a= nd provides a way to stay offline while using your Chaos products when you = need to. It is still compatible with existing USB dongles, in case you need= to use your licenses in this way.
The License Server's interface is accessible in a web browser. See the <= a href=3D"/display/LIC5/License+Server+Interface">License Server Interface<= /a> page for more information.
The Unified Login Application is integrated in the License Server instal= lation. The ULA allows Single Sign On for all ULA integrated Chaos desktop = apps. For example, signing in any of the Chaos applications, will automatic= ally log the user in all other Chaos applications installed on the machine.=
The installer is fairly straightforward and easy to run, but if you need= help, please see the Installing the License Server page for details on the process. This = includes using your Chaos account to access your purchased licenses from an= ywhere online.
To activate your licenses, go to 127.0.0.1:30304 in your web browser and click Sign in from = the Online licensing menu. You are then prompted to enter your username/ema= il and password. Once the activation is successful, you are able to see the= list of your available licenses on the Chaos License Server home page.
You can still activate your License Server without Internet connection. = To do this, download an activation request file from your = License Server. Use another machine with internet connection to upload the = file to my.chaos.co= m. Log in with your Chaos account and generate an activation fi= le. Upload the activation file to your License Server to activate = it.
See also the Borrowing Licenses for Offline Use page for additional informatio= n.
The Licensing system allows you to use seats associated with your Chaos = account easily from anywhere you can log into over the internet. If you als= o have a USB dongle with Chaos product licenses attached to your computer, = you can utilize those available licenses with the License Server. For more = details on this process, please see the Dongle usage page.
When using a dongle license connected = to the License Server you are only able to access the dongle licenses on th= e machine that the dongle is connected to. You are unable to access dongle = licenses over the internet on another machine logged into the License Serve= r.
In most situations, adjusting the Settings for the online licensing syst= em is not necessary. But if you need to adjust something like your connecti= on settings because you're using a Proxy server, you can get to these throu= gh the drop-down menu in the top right corner of the License Server webpage= and choosing Settings. For more details on what settings are adjustabl= e from this area, please see the Advanced Settings page.
If you are updating your licensing system from the previous setup to the= new online system, no changes are required on the workstation or applicati= on side of your software. The online system replaces the existing dongle fu= nctionality without any additional steps needed on your part. There is no n= eed to use the Change License Settings application to reconfigure your setu= p. If you have purchased online licenses, these can be activated for online= usage in the new system right away.
The username and password credentials in = the Change your license settings tool window are not the s= ame as your online credentials used to log into your account at my.chaos.com and activate = the License Server.
