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:

  1. Select the Connect to an Altair License Management System option in the Choose License Method window and then click Next.

     

  2. The Altair License Server Connection screen displays.

     

  3. 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.

    •  

  4. 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.

  5. Click Connect when you are done.

  6. Monarch is successfully activated.
