Setting Up Your Network License Clients for DSLS

This task explains how to set up a network license client.

To know more on Setting Up Your Network License Clients for DSLS, see the Configuring Clients section in the Dassault Systemes License User's Guide.

1. Log on onto a workstation to be configured as client. Check that you have write access to the folder containing the DSLS client configuration file as follows:
By default, the license server list that can be accessed by the licensing clients is declared in the following file, on the client computers.
  • Windows XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\Licenses\DSLicSrv.txt
  • Windows Vista, Windows 7:
    C:\ProgramData\DassaultSystemes\Licenses\DSLicSrv.txt
  • AIX:
    /var/DassaultSystemes/Licenses/DSLicSrv.txt
     
2. Add the server information to the file.
Example:
serverA:4085
serverB:4085,serverC:4085,serverD:4085
serverE:4085

In this example, three logical license servers are declared, all listening on the default 4085 port. The first logical server is a standalone server named serverA. The second logical server is a failover cluster composed of serverB, serverC and serverD. The third logical server is a standalone server named serverE.
