The Web License option within Network Administration enables license communication over an IP address and port, rather than through a Shared Folder License, which relies on a shared folder located on the server.

If your environment prevents clients from accessing the server's File Explorer but allows communication over IP, this configuration may be a better option for your setup.

When it comes to the setup, there are two places we need to configure:

  • License Service Controller
  • Network Administration

Network License Controller

1. Open your Network Toolbar by navigating to: Start > All Programs > Teklynx Network Utilities > Network Toolbar.

2. Click License Service Controller.

3. Click Start.

4. Click Settings.

5. In the Settings window, there are two important options: Port Number and Enable shared file license server.

Port Number: Determines the port that the license will communicate on. (Default: 55174)

Enable shared file license server: This setting turns the Shared Folder License on or off. While it's not needed to disable this setting to use Web License, turning it off will force the application to only use Web License communication.

Network Administration

1. Search for Network Administration from the Start Menu.

2. Check Use Network License.

3. Check Web License.

4. Change the Server Location and Server Port to match the server configuration.

Defaults:

Server Location: localhost

Server Port: 55174
