Licensing

In this step, specify whether the Chaos License Server runs locally or on another machine.

If you select Remote licensing, you have to enter the IP address of your Chaos License Server in the Primary License Server field. Leave port 30304 unchanged. An Alternate License Server can be used for redundancy in case the primary one does not respond. The License Server will not install when the Remote option is selected.

When Local licensing is selected, the Chaos License Server is installed with Chaos Anima.

Chaos License Server

At this step, you can choose where to install the Chaos License Server.

License Server directory – Allows you to enter a custom license server install directory.

Add firewall exception – Allows the default licensing port (TCP 30304) in the firewall. If you disable it at this step, you must manually add firewall exceptions later. This option is available for Windows OS only.
