Request a Floating License from a License Server Running as a Java Servlet

Starting with Oxygen XML Author version 12.1, Oxygen XML Author can use a license server running as a Java Servlet to manage floating licenses.

Floating License Server Running as a Servlet

  1. Start the application.
  2. Go to menu Help > Register . The license dialog is displayed.
  3. Choose Use a license server as licensing method.
  4. Select HTTP/HTTPS Server as server type.
  5. Fill-in the URL text field with the address of the license server. The URL address has the following format: http://hostName:port/oXygenLicenseServlet/license-servlet
  6. Fill-in the User and Password text fields. Contact your server administrator to supply you this information.
  7. Click the OK button.
If the maximum number of available licenses was not exceeded a license key is received from the floating license server and registered in Oxygen XML Author . The license details are displayed in the About dialog opened from the Help menu. If the maximum number of licenses was exceeded a warning dialog pops up letting you know about the problem. The message contains information about the users who requested and successfully received the floating licenses before exceeding the maximum number of licenses.
Note: Two different Oxygen XML Author instances (for example one standalone and one Eclipse plugin) run on the same machine, consume a single license key.
