  1. Locate the file Floating Template.lic included in your license server folder.

  2. Rename the file to <product_name>_<companyName>_client_license_file.lic, where <product_name> is Syndeia (for example) and the <companyName> is the name of your organization.

    1. NOTE: what you name the file does not matter. All that matters is that the file ends in .lic and that your client workstations find it - by itself - in the proper locations.

  3. Open the file in a text editor.  You should see something like the following:  

    Code Block
    HOST [license server name or ip address] [ANY or ether=<MAC_ADDRESS>] [5053 (default) or designated RLM port]
    ISV intercax [port=5055 (default) or designated vendor service port]

    (if your file has been locally edited by your team, it should not have any of the advice text shown above; it should look like one of the examples below.)

  4. Make these changes:

    1. Replace [license server name or ip address] with the network host of your license server. You can use any value that is locally “routable”, a host and domain name or a direct IP address.

    2. Replace [5053 (default) or designated license server port number] with 5053 or the designated license server port your team provided to Intercax per the Pre-reqs section here.  This must match the port assigned in the server’s license-specification file.

  5. Examples: 

    1. When any of your client workstations is allowed to request an Intercax Syndeia license from myLicenseServerHost.mydomain.com:5053 and when the Intercax vendor service is listening at myLicenseServerHost.mydomain.com:5055

      Code Block
      HOST myLicenseServerHost.mydomain.com ANY 5053
      ISV intercax
    2. When only a specific client workstation with MAC address 3c22fb6583df is allowed to request an Intercax Syndeia license from myLicenseServerHost.mydomain.com:5053 and when the Intercax vendor service is listening at myLicenseServerHost.mydomain.com:5055

      Code Block
      HOST myLicenseServerHost.mydomain.com ether=3c22fb6583df 5053
      ISV intercax
    3. When any of your client workstations is allowed to request an Intercax Syndeia license from 192.168.0.111:5555 and when the Intercax vendor service is listening at 192.168.0.111:5656

      Code Block
      HOST 192.168.0.111 ANY 5555
      ISV intercax port=5656
  6. Save the file (assuring that your OS or editor does not remove the .lic extension and does not append a .txt extension after the .lic extension.

  7. Close the file.

  8. Provide this file to each user who will be using Syndeia and will need a floating license.

    1. Network file servers are a preferred way (rather than email) to share this file.

    2. They (or you) should copy this file into the .syndeia folder under their user directory.
