License management

Overview

When the topic License management is selected, the application automatically searches for all license servers that are connected.

The symbol in front of the license server name refers to if the server is a local or network/cloud server.

Picking the small triangle in front of the server or double clicking the server will open it to show all the license containers that the server has.

From where for each container the same actions will show the container content, i.e. its available licenses. These license can be collected in packages, modules or made available as individual items.

At the top of the list a search string can be entered to look through the list for a specific (package of) license(s).

With the Refresh command icon , the content of the license container is re-read and the information is updated.

With the WebAdmin command icon , the CodeMeter WebAdmin dashboard is started in a default browser.
