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

2. Rename the file to <product_name>_<companyName>_client_licensefloating-license-server>_client_pointer_file.lic, where <product_name> is Syndeia (for example) and the <companyName> floating-license-server> is the name of your organizationRLM floating license server.

   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 (on the default port) 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 (on the default port) 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.

This client-side license-server reference file informs the Syndeia client how you intend where it to use your company’s internal IT networkshould connect to request a floating license. When the Syndeia client is unable to obtain a license from the Intercax Reprise License Manager service … you have incorrectly specified information in this file or your corporate IT Networking team has not shared all that is necessary to you for you to know how to prepare this file.
