Altair Panopticon Visualization Server Installation and Reference Help

Licensing

Licensing within the Panopticon Visualization Server supports the following license types:

q a volume-based XML file (named DatawatchLicense.xml) which is used to store all license information for a specific customer, must be copied to the designated AppData folder (i.e., c:\vizserverdata)

q Altair Units license which is available in the Altair License Server you are connected to (local or over the network)

q Hosted Altair Units license

The license file type you will use is delivered separately from the installation packages. Also, license files are required for both the Panopticon Designer (Desktop) and Panopticon Visualization Server components.

NOTE

If you install Panopticon Designer (Desktop) for stand-alone use, it will request activation through entering a separate license file (volume-based or Altair Units) when using it for the first time. If you install Panopticon Designer (Desktop) for use with the Panopticon Visualization Server component, the Panopticon Designer (Desktop) software will retrieve its license automatically from the Panopticon Visualization Server.
In the Panopticon documentation, HyperWorks Units (HWU) and Hosted HyperWorks Units (HHWU) are now named Altair Units and Hosted Altair Units, respectively.

In the Panopticon product, these license types are still named HyperWorks Units and Hosted HyperWorks Units.
