Set up a local license
The following describes how to make a server license available on your network.
Local licensing vs. server licensing – A license file is issued for a computer specified by the customer. The license file can represent a single license (one seat) or a multiple license (two seats and more) for a specific range of functions. Licenses are basically multi-user licenses (floating licenses), i.e. the license can be used without being tied to a specific location. If the license file is issued for the computer on which infra CONVERT itself is executed, it is a local license from its point of view. If computers in the network (clients) obtain licenses from this computer (server), it is a server license from their point of view.
See Installation > Local licensing
Licensing service – Licensing tasks are handled by ELIAS License Service, a service program. You can find a detailed description in the administrator manual.
See Administrator's Manual > Installation > Licensing service
Frequently asked questions – Frequently asked questions about license service are answered here: Further > Frequently asked questions and answers > Why is the license server not accessible?

You send the individual registration key generated for this installation together with your contact data by e-mail (A) to your CAQ/MES system provider respectively the service of ELIAS GmbH.

Error handling
Can not connect to the license server

The message “License server was not found” appears in the “License Information” dialog box in infra CONVERT.
Error handling
- Make sure the license server information (“Edit (menu bar) > Settings > General > License server”) is correct. The default values are “localhost” for the host and “6781” for the port. For the Single User License model, the locally installed “LicenseService” is the license server addressed by the program.
