Using the Floating License

Requirements:

To use VisualApplets with floating license:

  1. Put the CodeMeter dongle that contains your VisualApplets floating license into a free USB slot of your network server.
  2. Install the CodeMeter User Runtime software to this network server. You can download the software from https://www.wibu.com.
  3. Save the license file *.txt to a place that is available from the local VisualApplets installation. (Save it either to a network server, or to the file system of each local machine.)
  4. On each local machine, set the following environment variables:

VA_LICENSE_SERVER: Specify here the name of you network server.

VA_LICENSE_FILE: Specify here the path to and the name of the license file *.txt.

Now, you can use the floating licenses on all local machines on which you have set the environment variables and that have access to the network server and to the license file *.txt.

Change to number of users

 

If you want to enlarge the number of users contained in your floating license, or if you want to upgrade from a local (node-locked) license to a floating license, please contact Silicon Software Support.
