The license server settings are being stored in an XML file. The FloatingLicenseService.exe.xml located in the root installation folder. The following settings are available:
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
FloatingLicenseUrl |
The URI of the license server. |
FloatingInterval |
The interval (in milliseconds) in which each client has to respond to the floating server so that the license is not deactivated from the pool. |
The license server URI must include a scheme (net.tcp), the name of the host, and the port. The default value is net.tcp:localhost:26627 which means that the service listens on port 26627. Only a TCP/IP connection is supported.
The default value of the interval is 30000 (30 seconds). By default, this value is not present in the .xml file. It has to be added manually. This value can be adjusted within the following range:
•Minimum: 5000 (5 seconds)
•Maximum: 300000 (5 minutes)
The higher the assigned value, the less frequent is the communication between client and server. On the other hand, specifying higher values means that it will take more time for the server to cleanup unused licenses in case that the connection between server and client has been lost or the client has prematurely exited without releasing its license.
