Floating License

Configure floating license server for INTERACT

If you have purchased a floating license for INTERACT you will need to install the license server managing the INTERACT license system.
To receive the package containing all the tools needed to set the server, contact us at interact-support@ls-group.fr.

To switch from nodelock to floating license, contact: interact@ls-group.fr.

Configuration file

The configuration file TurboFloatServer-config.xml is used to configure the LimeLM license server managing the INTERACT product.

It can be used to manage:

  • Communication port: <bind port="3894"/>
  • Duration of lease of license (in seconds). The license is returned automatically after this delay (used if the program has crashed): <lease length="1800"/><!-- seconds -->
  • Log file: <log file="tfs-log.txt" level="notification"/>

Installation of server

The user must be administrator to run these commands!

Activate license key

Two activation modes:

  • The computer is connected to internet continuously:

TurboFloatServer.exe -a="ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP-QRST-UVWX-YZAB"

  • The computer is not connected to internet OR will be not connected after the activation:

    • Installation of the key and creation of file ActivationResponse.xml:

      TurboFloatServer.exe -a="ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP-QRST-UVWX-YZAB" -areq="ActivationRequest.xml"

    • Transmission of ActivationRequest.xml to interact-support@ls-group.fr which will send ActivationResponse.xml in return.

    • Activation of the key with the received file:

      TurboFloatServer.exe -a -aresp="ActivationResponse.xml"

Deactivate license key

To deactivate a license (to move a license on another computer for example):

  • The computer is connected to internet: TurboFloatServer.exe -deact
  • The computer is not connected to internet:
    • Create file DeactivationRequest.xml: TurboFloatServer.exe -deact="DeactivationRequest.xml"
    • Send file DeactivationRequest.xml to interact-support@ls-group.fr

Install server

To install the server as a service: TurboFloatServer.exe -i

Uninstall server

To uninstall the service: TurboFloatServer.exe -u

For large deployment, installing from registry key

If you are using a floating license, you can configure license server parameters using registry keys instead of GUI. Set up SOFTWARE\LightAndShadows\Interact\License\ServerAddr and SOFTWARE\LightAndShadows\Interact\License\ServerPort to automatically activate license server on application start. Remove those registry keys to use a local license instead.
