About the floating license

Please make sure the license drivers are installed on both the server and client. Download the driver

The license system communicates with the dongles using TCP\UDP port 1947 (this is a dedicated IANA port we reserved).

The pre-requisite is that such port should be free and 2 machines in same network or under different subnet can communicate on this port (so no firewall blocking or domain policies blocking).

1. Same network: On site access

To use the floating license within your network, simply connect the floating dongle to a host (server) PC. All computers within the same network, will be able to detect and use the license.

2: Remote network: Off site access

If you want to connect to a dongle in a different network, a host (server) with a known and fixed IP adres is needed.

The Client Side

On the Client machine which needs to use the remote NET dongle, at page http://localhost:1947/_int_/config_to.html the following:

  • Allow Access to Remote Licenses ON
  • Broadcast Search for Remote Licenses OFF
  • Aggressive Search for Remote Licenses ON
  • Remote License Search Parameters -- enter the client machine IP address, make sure the IP-address is resolved

click SUBMIT to save. Restart the Sentinel LDK License Manager service (make sure you are running the latest runtime v7.81 which introduces improvements and fixes)

The Server Side

On the Server machine where the NET dongle is locally connected, at page http://localhost:1947/_int_/config_from.html

  • Set option Allow Access from Remote Clients is ON
  • Make sure that there is no Access Restrictions affecting the scenario you need to run.
  • Make sure you are running the runtime v7.81 or higher.

Verify

Once you apply the above, check if http://localhost:1947/_int_/devices.html on the Client can see the remote NET dongle.

If not, make sure the Client can successfully execute: telnet ServerIP 1947

and the same from the Server machine: telnet ClientIP 1947

Do telnet succeed from both machines?

The 2 machines can ping each other?

Please advise and please share also a Diagnostic report created on the server and on the client from page http://localhost:1947/_int_/diag.html
