Installing and configuring license for AppLoader

The following gives an outline of the configuration steps to install licenses for AppLoader.

To install the “Single” license, place the license file (AppLoaderLicense.lic) under …\NrgGlobal or Automai\AppLoader\license folder

To get a “Permanent” license from a different machine that has License Server installed on it

You need to update the “chroniker.ini” file located in the “…\NrgGlobal or Automai\AppLoader\apps\includes\” folder. The update will add the following two lines in the [license] section:

License-Server = "license Server address "  i.e. http://NRG-VM161:8888

License-Type = "normal"

Now, AppLoader will contact the License Server located on the server provided automatically to request a “Permanent” license from that server in case there is no valid license under the “…\NrgGlobal or Automai\AppLoader\license” folder.

Note: For viewing the License details, go to the “About” page from the “Help” option.

To get a “Token” license from a different machine that has License Server installed on it

You need to update the “chroniker.ini” file located in the “…\NrgGlobal or Automai\AppLoader\apps\includes\” folder. The update will add the following two lines in the [license] section:

License-Server = "license Server address "  i.e. http://NRG-VM55:8888

License-Type = "token"

When you try to login, AppLoader will show the option for you to contact the License Server located on the server provided to request a floating license from that server in case there is no valid license under the “…\NrgGlobal or Automai\AppLoader\license” folder.

You need to click the “Request License” link to connect to License Server;

Now you can specify the Number of concurrent rUsers and the Number of IPs for backend monitoring.

Selecting “0” or invalid positive integer for the first two fields (Number of rUsers and Number of IPs) will result in not sending the request for that field. Selecting “0” for Duration field will send a request for the default duration (which is 1 day).

After you specify the fields, click on “Submit”.  AppLoader will display whether the license was granted or denied.

Then click on “OK”.

Note: For viewing the License details, go to the “About” page from the “Help” option.

Tip: You can also update the license by selecting the License Request option from the top right corner in AppLoader.

You can release the current license by clicking License Release button and request a new license.

Once you click Release License, you will see the message below:

Click the Yes button to release the license.

To get a “Disposable” license from a different machine that has License Server installed on it

You need to update the “chroniker.ini” file located in the “…\NrgGlobal or Automai\AppLoader\apps\includes\” folder. The update will add the following two lines in the [license] section:

License-Server = "license Server address "  i.e. http://NRG-VM55:8888

License-Type = "token24"

When you try to login, AppLoader will show the option for you to contact the License Server located on the server provided to request a floating license from that server in case there is no valid license under the “…\NrgGlobal or Automai\AppLoader\license” folder.

You need to click the “Request License” link to connect to License Server;

Now you can specify the Number of concurrent rUsers and the Number of IPs for backend monitoring.

Selecting “0” or invalid positive integer for the first two fields (Number of rUsers and Number of IPs) will result in not sending the request for that field. Selecting “0” for Duration field will send a request for the default duration (which is 1 day).

After you specify the fields, click on “Submit”. AppLoader will display whether the license was granted or denied.

Then click on “OK”.

Note: For viewing the License details, go to the “About” page from the “Help” option.

Important: When AppLoader or AppsWatch are using token license (Floating or Disposable tokens), they send two requests to the License Server. One is for rUsers/Stations and the second one is for Backend Monitoring.

Usually these two licenses are requested/granted together; meaning: the end time for both of them is the same. Otherwise, in case the two files were requested/granted in two different times, then the end time for the tokens will show the least value among the two license files.
