Connection to an Altair License Management System
The Connect to an Altair License Management System method is used when licensing is performed via an Altair License Server.
STEPS:
-
Select the Connect to an Altair License Management System option in the Choose License Method window and then click Next.
-
You can activate your Monarch install in one of two ways:
-
Enter the path to a valid Altair License Server into the field provided. This path should have to form <port>@<server name or IP address> (e.g., 6200@10.64.216.10 or 6200@licenseserver1). Note that the default port for the Altair License Server is 6200. In addition, the Environment Variable ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH must point to the correct location.
-
Enter the path to a valid Altair License File into the field provided.
-
If you wish to enable license borrowing (i.e., allow users to “check out” or “borrow” their license so that they can work with the Monarch application offline), enter a maximum number of hours users can check out their license into the Advanced > Borrowing Duration field. By default, licenses can be checked out for 24 hours. Note that license borrowing is only applicable when licensing is done via Altair License Server.
-
Click Connect when you are done.
The Altair License Server Connection screen displays.
Monarch is successfully activated.
