View information about license servers

In the Vicon Automated Unified Licensing Tool dialog box, you can view information about all available license servers without affecting the license server that is currently in use. To do this:

1.    Open the advanced Vicon Automated Unified Licensing Tool dialog box by doing one of the following:

           Before licensing Vicon Nexus, start Nexus and in the Vicon Automated Unified Licensing Tool dialog box click Advanced Licensing; or

           After Vicon Nexus is licensed, start Vicon Nexus and on the Help menu, click Licensing to open the Vicon Automated Unified Licensing Tool dialog box; or

           Click the Windows Start button, then All Programs > Vicon > Licensing > Vicon Product Licensing.

2.    In the Vicon Automated Unified Licensing Tool dialog box, if the required license server is not displayed in the License Server field at the top, click Change at the top right of the dialog box.

3.    In the Options area of the Select License Server dialog box, do one of the following:

           To view local standalone licenses and commuter licenses (for information on commuter licenses, see Use commuter licenses), select View Licenses from the Locally Installed License Server; or

           To view licenses on a specified license server, type the name of the required server in the License Server field. If you don’t know the name of the license server, click Discover and in the Available Servers list, double-click a license server.

4.    Click OK.

In License Server list at the top of the Vicon Automated Unified Licensing Tool dialog box, licenses from the specified license server are displayed.

Tip:          Changing the license server that is displayed in the License Server list does not affect the license server that is used for licensing, shown in the Product License Location list in the lower part of the dialog box. To change the license server that is used for licensing, see Set the license server.
