View source for WIBU Configure Network Server

=Introduction=
This page contains instructions for configuring a network TUFLOW licence.  It requires that you have the CodeMeter Runtime kit installed on the server, see <u>[[Wibu_Dongles#Installing_CodeMeter_RunTime_Kit |Installing CodeMeter Runtime Kit]]</u>.<br>

For the network license server, during the CodeMeter Runtime kit installation, please select the "Network Server" option. Doing so, CodeMeter will configure TCP and UDP protocols in the Windows Firewall for the server.<br>

<br>
This can also be accessed by pointing an internet browser to: [[http://localhost:22352/ http://localhost:22352/]] or [[http://localhost:22353/ http://localhost:22353/]] if you have https configured and provided CodeMeter with a certificate (Note that the port number can be adjusted by your administrator).
<br>
The following CodeMeter webpage will appear.

</ol>
<li> The next install steps will involve configuring client (modelling) computers to communicate with the server. The client computer will use the IP address of the server for the communication connection. To avoid the server IP address changing due to future actions (such as the server computer being restarted), we recommend configuring the server to use a static IP address.
<li> Configure client (modelling) computers to communicate with the server: <u> [[WIBU_Configure_Network_Client | Configure Network Client]] </u>.  
</ol>

=Troubleshooting=
If your licences are not listed in the console window when you test whether the server configuration has been successful:
<ol>
<li> Check whether you have the latest version of Codemeter User Runtime installed. If you do not, update to the latest version: <u>[https://www.wibu.com/support/user/downloads-user-software.html https://www.wibu.com/support/user/downloads-user-software.html]</u>
<li> If you are unable to change your version of Codemeter User Runtime, in CodeMeter WebAdmin navigate to the '''Configuration >> Basic >> Sever Search List''' tab and enter the server name, computer IP address, or the code: 127.0.0.1 in the '''Server Search''' list. After entering the details, click "Add" to save the change. This was a configuration requirement in some old versions of Codemeter User Runtime.</li>
