Technical Description > Initial Server Activation

The server must be activated by a hardware-bound license. This is a one-time process which requires an internet connection. If the server has no access to internet, then it has to be activated manually by our support. The activation ensures that purchased license is indeed of a floating type, and locks it to the device on which the activation is running. The license is then not-transferable to other license servers. If more than one license server is required (for example for geographically separated sites) then more server licenses have to be purchased.

Once activated, a file containing unique hardware-signature is generated and save in c:\Program Data\Raynet\Licenses folder, with extension .rsfl. This is the same location where seat-licenses can be saved, but the extension is different to distinguish floating and non-floating licenses. Floating License Server supports .rsfl files only.
