Starting with Oxygen
version 12.1, Oxygen can
use a license server running as a Java Servlet to manage floating licenses.
Floating License Server Running as a Servlet
-
Start the Eclipse platform.
-
Go to menu
.
The license dialog is displayed.
-
Choose Use a license server as licensing method.
-
Select HTTP Server as server type.
-
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/.
-
Fill-in the User and Password text fields. Contact your server
administrator to supply you this information.
-
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 instances (for
example one standalone and one Eclipse plugin) run on the same machine, consume a single
license key.
