How can Robcad be allowed to borrow a license from the FlexLM server?

Platforms
  • INTEL windows-XP32_SP1
Release Versions
  • Tecnomatix Legacy V7.5.1
Solution

License borrowing is supported for Tecnomatix 8.1 (shipment in Q2 2007) - so the following version of RobCAD PC (V8.0) will support the same functionality.

But, a similar functionality is already provided today by using mobile WIBU dongles . Customers can just plug the dongle on the server or the notebook to transfer the license (assuming the corresponding license file is copied on both machines). All that is needed is the dongle and an installation of the WIBU drivers (on the Tecnomatix 7.6 DVD under Add-Ons\Drivers).

There can be a pool of licenses on the license server (e.g. using Ethernet-ID) and additionally, there can be multiple WIBU dongles with 1 floating license for each WIBU dongle. When all the dongles are plugged on the server, those licenses are available in the network in addition to the Ethernet licenses. To transfer some of the licenses to a notebook, just remove the corresponding dongles from the server.

The only additional work needed is when a dongle is returned to the license server - then the licenses service (not the computer - just the FLEXlm service) has to be restarted in order to read-in the dongles. But this can be done during regular operations and while users are working.
