If more than one license is available, as many copies of the program as are cov-
ered by the license can be started simultaneously.
4. Which licensing program is used for T
OPSPIN?
The Flexlm license manager is used and is delivered on the T
OPSPIN DVD. It
contains the ’bruker_lmgr’ license manager, the ’lmutil’ program, Help files and
example license.dat file.
5. What are the requirements for the Flexlm to function:
Your PC must have an Ethernet card
6. What is a Floating license?
Floating licenses are licenses that are available for more than one computer in a
network. Floating licenses are issued based on the Host-ID of one particular
computer. This computer becomes the ‚license server‘. All computers that can
communicate with this ‚license server‘ computer can use the licenses managed
by this computer. For this to work, the same license file must be installed on all
participating computers, including the ‚license server‘. The Flexlm license man-
ager software must only run on the ‚license server‘ computer.
A Floating license can have just one license for a program like T
OPSPIN. In such
a case, the respective program can be started once on one computer in the net-
work. If more than one license is available, as many copies of the program as are
covered by the license can be started simultaneously. For example, if you have
a license file with 5 licenses for T
OPSPIN, TOPSPIN can be started 5 times from
any 5 computers in the network.
The number of licenses is stated in the FEATURE for the respective program.
7. What is the difference between 1-Server / 3-Server Licenses?
Floating licenses can be ordered as 1-server or 3-server licenses. In a 1-server
license you have only one license server, and in a 3-server license there are three
license servers defined in the license file.
• The advantage of a 1-server license is that it is only necessary to have one
computer active at a time to make the license available.
• The advantage of a 3-server license is that any of the three license servers
can be inactive and the license management is then done by the remaining
two servers.
• One requirement for the three license servers is that all of them have TCP/IP
active.
