A node-locked license is a "single computer"  license. It is identified by a padlock on your dashboard.
To activate your node-locked license, use the following methods :

• Online : if your computer is connected to Internet :

  1.  Launch the activation script :
     Choose "1 - Online" and  enter your serial key when prompted.
     
     

• Offline : if your computer is not connected to the Internet, you can activate it in a two steps process:

  1.  First step : Launch the activation script : 

 Choose "2 - Offline" and  enter your serial key when prompted. 

• 1. • Choose option 1 to generate your "activation request file"
       Access to your UVR Dashboard from a computer connected to the internet, click on your license key link and choose "Offline Activation". Then copy and past the content of your "activation request file" (which default name is uvr-activation-request.dat). This will generate an "activation response file".
       
       

  2.  Second step : Launch again the activation script : 

 Choose "2 - Offline" and  enter your serial key when prompted. 

• 2. • Choose option 2 to load the "activation response file" you have previously generated.

A floating license is a "multi-computer concurrent"  license. It is identified by a cloud on your dashboard.
To activate your floating license, use the following methods :

• Hosted: if your license is hosted by an UVR license server (this is the default case):

  • Launch the activation script :
    Choose "1 - Online" and  enter your serial key when prompted.

• On-Premise: if your company use an on-premise license server :

(see below the procedure to install an on-premise license server)

• Launch the activation script :
  Choose "3 - On-premise" and enter the license server address including the protocol (http://) the IP (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the port (pppp) :

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:pppp

Ask your system administrator for the connection informations

Note:  Since floating licenses are concurrent, the internet connection must be maintained continuously to allow the acquisition and release of license tokens between users. 

An on-premise license server contains a pool of floating license tokens.  It is identified by a display on your dashboard.
This enables a company to set up a license server on a private network, even with no or limited internet connection.

To install and activate the license server, please follow the instructions below:

1.  Download and unzip the license server files :

   • Windows Server ( x86 and x64) :  LexFloatServer-Win-4.8.2.zip

2. Download the .dat file of the UVR software corresponding to your license :

   • UVR Predict Engine :  uvr-predict-engine_3e04.dat

   • UVR Predict E-GPU : uvr-predict-e-gpu_9c66.dat

   • UVR Predict Lab : uvr-predict-lab_e7e4.dat

3. Edit the config.yml file to set the serveur port and your produc key and .dat file 

# Port server should listen to

port: 8090

# License key to activate the server

licenseKey: XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX

# Product file path

productFilePath: uvr-predict-product_abcd.dat

4. Activate the on-premise server license in a command prompt :

   • Online : if your server is connected to Internet, call :

lexfloatserver -a

• Offline : if your server is not connected to the Internet, you can activate the license in a two steps process:

  1. First step, call : 

lexfloatserver -g --offline-request activation-request.dat

Access to your UVR Dashboard from a computer connected to the internet, click on your on-premise license key and choose "Offline Activation". Then copy and past the content of the "activation-request.dat" file  that you just created. This will generate an "activation-response.dat" file.

• 2. Second step, call : 

lexfloatserver -a --offline-response=activation-response.dat

5. Install the on-premise server license, call :

lexfloatserver -i --service-name uvrLicServer-myProduct --service-display-name uvrLicServer-myProduct 

Find more information on the following page: https://docs.cryptlex.com/floating-licenses/on-premise-floating-licenses/lexfloatserver.

Note: If you own multiple on-premise license keys for UVR softwares, you will need to launch a separate server for each license key. This is because each license key is associated with a specific instance of the software, and cannot be used to activate multiple instances on a single server.

Note: LexFloatServer has VS2015 runtime dependency on Windows. Make sure dependency is installed before running the server.
