Managing Product Licenses
The RTX64 Activation and Configuration utility lists the individual product component licenses that are either locked to the machine or associated dongle(s). From this list, you can view information about and manage your product licenses.
NOTE: The list of components is empty when there are no components licensed to the machine or dongle.
Understanding the Component List
- A – The Component column lists all licensed components that are either locked to the machine or associated dongle(s)
- B - The Version column lists the major version of all licensed components.
- C – The Licensed RTSS Cores column lists the number of available licensed RTSS cores for Runtime licenses. Note that no value is displayed for non-Runtime licenses.
- D – The Lock column contains an icon indicating whether the component is locked to a machine or a dongle.
|
The component is locked to a machine. |
|
The component is locked to a hard drive not on the machine. |
|
The component is locked to a dongle. The dongle ID appears when you hover the cursor over the icon. |
|
The component is locked to a dongle that is not connected to the machine. |
- E – A black
- F – Information on the component license:
- Issue date – The date on which the license was issued.
- Expiration date – The date on which an Evaluation license will expire. For non-Evaluation licenses, this will always be none.
- Customer ID – the customer ID number associated with the license.
- G – Indicates whether the license is enabled or disabled. When selected, the license is enabled in the license file. When selection is cleared, the license file becomes disabled and cannot be used until it is enabled.
- H – Removes the license from the license file and dongle.
NOTE: When a license is removed, it cannot be reused on another system.
Gray text in the component list indicates one of the following:
- the license is valid, but the component is not installed
- a Runtime license has been disabled
- an Evaluation license has expired. The expiration date for an Evaluation license is displayed in the expanded region of the licensed component. The word Expired also appears in this scenario.
Ideal Licenses
The component list indicates which of the available component licenses is the ideal license. The ideal license is the license with the most recent issue date. In the event there are multiple licenses of the same type with the same issue date, the ideal license will be determined by the order in which they appear in the license file, with the ideal license being the top-most entry. In the Activation and Configuration utility, an ideal license is indicated by a black
Changing the Ideal Runtime License
The ideal Runtime license will be used when the Subsystem is next started. It is possible for multiple Runtime licenses to be present for the same Runtime version. For instance, there might be an Evaluation Runtime license and a non-Evaluation Runtime license.
If you want to use a different Runtime license at Subsystem startup than the current ideal license when multiple same-version Runtime licenses are present, you first need to disable the current Ideal license. One of the other enabled Runtime licenses for that version would then become the Ideal license, provided it meets the criteria listed above.
Enabling/Disabling a License
To enable/disable a license:
- Click the component name.
- Do one of the following:
- To disable the license, clear the Enabled check box. When a license is disabled, the component name turns gray. The license cannot be used until it is enabled.
- To enable the license, select the Enabled check box.
Deleting a License
To delete a license:
- Click the component name.
- Click Delete this license, a prompt appears.
- Click Yes to delete the license from the license file and dongle.
NOTE: When a license is removed, it cannot then be reused on another system.
