Activate the License

The Chaos License Server is the bridge between the Chaos Product and the Chaos Account associated with a given license. You cannot use any Chaos product without a license.

You connect to the License Server by installing the license application locally on your machine or connecting to a machine in your local network that has a shared floating license set up.

If you are hosting a Chaos License Server for multiple machines, please see the Administrator Workflow.

Please follow the instructions for your subscription plan:

    Floating Licenses

    ...

    Floating Licenses can be shared between multiple users and

    ...

    can be used

    ...

    When doing a shared setup, the license holder needs to install the license locally on at least one machine in the network. Installing the license happens automatically when you perform a default Chaos product installation. If you only need to install the License Server application separately, see the Installation page. This machine can use the license, but it also serves as a connection point for others to connect to the license. If you are the license holder, i.e., the administrator, see the Administrator Workflow page.

    Here is how to connect to an already set-up Premium shared license:

    • The administrator needs to give you their machine's IP address. This serves as your connection point to the Chaos License. 
    • When installing your Chaos product, at the Licensing step, select Remote. In the Primary License Server field, type the server IP address that your license administrator gave you. At the end, add the :30304 port.
    • Continue to finish the installation. You are connected to the active licenses after that.

    completely online or within a local network, depending on the setup.

    To use an online floating pool, your Administrator needs to add you to their Organization. This sends an automatic email confirmation, which also contains a link you can use to create an account, if you don't have one yet.

    After that, you can follow the same activation steps as above to connect to the online floating pool.

    1. Proceed with a default installation.
    2. Sign in with your Chaos Account when prompted.


    If you are an Administrator in an Organization, see the Cloud-Based Floating Licensing pagefor a guide on how to share licenses through the my.chaos portal.
