CodeMeter 8.40a User Help

The "Configuration | Basic | Server Search List" page allows to define access to and order of installed CodeMeter network LAN and WAN (Wide Area Network) server.

CodeMeter WebAdmin – "Einstellungen | Netzwerk“

Figure 46: CodeMeter WebAdmin – "Configuration | Network“

The Server Search List is used to define the access to and order of CodeMeter network LAN and WAN (Wide Area Network) servers.

By default, the Server Search List holds the entry "Automatic server search (255.255.255.255)". Then licenses are sought first locally and then in the network (subnet). Using the entry "add new Server" allows you to decisively add single target server addresses.

Optionally to the names or IP addresses of the servers, a port can be specified using the separator ':' and entered in the profiling [:port specification].

You set back the settings of the server search list using the "Restore Defaults" button.

Alternatively, you are also able to set the Server Search List using the configuration files CodeMeter.ini or Server.ini. The table below shows you where to find the respective files.

Operating System

Configuration File

Windows

%Program Files%\CodeMeter\Runtime\bin\CodeMeter.ini

macOS

\Library\Preferences\com.wibu.CodeMeter.Server.ini

Linux

\etc\wibu\CodeMeter/Server.ini

In the separate section [ServerSearchList] define the server as the exampe below shows:

[ServerSearchList]

 

[ServerSearchList\Server1]

Address=184.45.89.5

 

[ServerSearchList\Server2]

Address=185.55.78.6:22370

When you define network settings, in some cases, this requires the restart of the CodeMeter service. However, you do not have to eject or deactivate the CmContainer. After you specified the settings you are able to stop and then restart the CodeMeter service in CodeMeter Control Center. For non-Windows operating systems see here.

The Current Server button located on the bottom of each page can be used to check whether the network server is found.

information_grau_klein26

If a connection is still not established specify on the client PCs the server IP address.

Using in a local area network (LAN):

By specifying the PC names or IP addresses you define that the client requests exactly address the defined CodeMeter network server. This increases the performance on the network.

information_grau_klein26

If the CodeMeter network server is located in another subnet, you should always specify the IP address in the server search list in order to preclude UDP broadcast problems.

By default, CodeMeter License Server binds to the first network adapter found.

Using in a wide area network (WAN):

information_grau_klein26

Please note, that a WAN connection has to be provided by the Software Vendor.

Specify the IP address(es) for client requests to the defined CodeMeter License Server in the WAN.

information_grau_klein26

When specifying the IP address(es) please note that you are required to prefix a "https:\\"needed for the secured communication with a reverse proxy in the WAN.

add automatic server search

This entry allows to automatically search licenses on servers, first locally and then in the network (subnet). A so-called broadcast is performed.

information_grau_klein26

If CodeMeter WebAdmin finds the entry 255.255.255.255, it is displayed as "Automatic server search (255.255.255.255)" on the list.

The entry is added at the end of the list.

If the list holds the entry as last entry, using "add new Server" the new Server is added as second last entry, i.e. without changes the entry "Automatic server search (255.255.255.255)" always remains at the end of the list.

If the list holds the entry other than the last, using "add new Server" the new Server is added as last entry.
