To use global floating licensing you require an ASP.Net server/account.
Step 1 - Creating server files
Open your IntelliLock project file (the one you use to protect your application) and click the menu item Wizards > ASP.Net Web Management to create the required server files.
Please copy the created files into the root directory of your ASP.Net server/account.
Step 2 - Manage floating licenses
If you visit the website you will see the following:
Click the Floating Licenses link to view the floating licenses table.
Here you can add, edit or delete the floating licenses for your users. The relevant settings are:
Customer - The customer name which consist of first name + last name + company name.
Blocked - Check this to stop the user from using your application.
ConcurrentMaxUser - The maximum number of users who can use your software simultaneously.
CountUserPerMachine - Check to handle each machine as a separate user and increase the current user count. The number of running application instances is not relevant in this case.
CountUserPerAppInstance - Check to handle each application instance as a separate user and increase the current user count.
UserRefreshTimeSeconds - The time span in seconds between pings (your application calls the service).
UserTimeoutSeconds - If your application can't reach the service for the defined number of seconds the current runtime license for the user will be expired.
All other settings are only informational.
Step 3 - Connecting your application to the service
Open the IntelliLock project file for your application. At least one trial restriction must be enabled (tab "Lock Settings"). In tab "License Generator" check "Floating License / Concurrent User" and click the "Setup" button. Check "Global" and enter the address to FloatingLicenseService.asmx.
The license file must contain the keys Company, FirstName and LastName. The values must correspond the Customer setting of the Floating Licenses table entry. If the values don't match, the floating license service can't find the customer.
Protect your application, create the license file and copy it to the location of your protected application. Now, if you run the protected application, it automatically connects to the floating license service.
Further note
- It is important to use the same project file (as it contains the master key) to protect your application and generate the server files via Wizards > ASP.Net Web Management.
