License Server
Configuringconfiguration
The License Server configuration enables the distribution of a single License Type across connected clients. The software requests a license from the License Server, which grants the license based on availability within the License Type configured and available. They must all be of the same type because the Remote Licensing method does not allow mixing different types of licenses.

To prevent license invalidation when using a VM, ensure the VM hardware configuration remains consistent. Avoid changes to hardware components such as network adapters, video cards, or hard drives, as these may impact the license validity. |
On the Server side
Requirements
1. The Servercomputer must have the software platform installed and licensed.
2. The software must have applied license for the remote license server allowing a field higher than 1.
2.1. To check how many licenses are available, open the software and go to the License displayInformation page, and check the Serial Number field as shown in the image below:

Running the web server
1. The first step for the server computer to be ready to accept remote connections from clients is to have a WebServer running.
A web server is an interface application used to manage the connection between computers in a network. The TWebServer TWebService is our software platform's connection assistant. To connect other computers in the same network with the project server, you need the TWebServer TWebService connection assistant or a similar tool, such as Microsoft Web Server (IIS - Internet Information Services).
1.1. To run
TWebServer, you must access theTWebService:
A. Access the software platform installation folder (default path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Tatsoft\FrameworX") and
run the
TWebService.exe file.
B. Access the Server Information page in Solutions Manager. In the Connected Server Information configuration section, select WebService in the Add Services field.
1.2. To check if the
TWebServerTWebService is running:
A. You can open the Windows tray icons, close the Windows clock, and look for the
TWebServices icon as the executable file icon, the same icon as the image above. When found, position the cursor over the icon, and a similar message "
TWebServices is running...(Port: <Port>)" appears.
The image case below appears (Port:
10108), meaning port
10108 (default) has been used for the
TWebServices.
B. Or, you can go to the Task Manager window and look for the "
TWebService-FrameworX" service in the Service tab.
If this does not appear, the
TWebServerTWebService was not installed as a Service.
On the
clientClient side
Requirements
The clientcomputer must have the software platform installed.
Client-side setup
1. To do the configuration on the client-side, you must have the "RemoteLicenseService” text file.
A1.1. To create one, open a new file in Notepad and write the following line:
| Code Block |
|---|
RemoteServer=<Server IP>:<Server Port> |
B1.2. Save Save the file with the name “RemoteLicenseService.config” on your computer's Desktop.
C1.3. Open the file and replace the specified parameters. Change the IP and port for the license server configuration. The IP is the IP of the computer's server, and the Port is the port we discovered in the last section (in this case, 8010108).
For example:
D1.4. Save Save the changes made to the file (Ctrl + S).
E1.5. Put the file in the following folder: “C:\ProgramData\FactoryStudio\.” Users\Public\Documents\FrameworX\MachineSettings”
2. Open the softwareSolution Manager, access the License display, Information and refresh the page in the lower right corner.
3. See if the License is enabled, as shown in the image below:
