Floating and Node-based licensing instructions

[Dan P]

I had sent an email to stasubf@gmail.com (which was outlined in the licensing email) and support@pilgway.com but haven't received any responses.

The question I have is in regard to the licenses (for education), both the node-locked for lab and floating for our students. Our students have downloaded the 30 Trial/Learning version to begin working on their laptops before the licenses arrived. Now that the licenses have arrived, how do I utilize the floating license information so the students and license the copy they have downloaded. Not sure what the procedure should be. I was able to get one of the floating licenses working by saving the license into a text file called: FLOATING.license. This only worked on one computer (which shows: Floating [used, 1 of 10] in the top left corner), but did not work on the others (which only shows: Learning).

Also not sure about the procedure for the node-locked licenses. Is there information online that outlines a step-by-step process for licensing version 2021 for both Floating and Node-Based?

Good day! First of all please note that "3DCoat 2021" and "3DCoatTextura 2021" clients have "FServer" built-in. You have to click "Load license" and open your file "FLOATING.license" directly inside them. Generally, there is no need to install and configure "FServer" for "3DCoat 2021" and "3DCoatTextura 2021" when your client machines are able to connect to the Internet. Only when your client machines with "3DCoat 2021" and "3DCoatTextura 2021" are not able to connect to the Internet but your server machine with "FServer" can connect to the "Internet" then there is a need for a local license server "FServer". Please see more in the document https://pilgway.com/~sergyi/FServer/FServer.pdf
That said here are answers to your questions:
1. Yes, the local license server "FServer" which supports "3DCoat 2021" is available for macOS.
2. No, because you don't even have to install the local license server "FServer" for your scenario. Click "Load license" inside your all "3DCoat 2021" clients to load your "FLOATING.license". "3DCoat 2021" clients will acquire your floating license from our global license server pilgway.com (188.138.102.74) through port 80.
3. Yes, because the local license server "FServer" is intended to replace the Internet connection from "3DCoat" clients to our global license server "pilgway.com" with the local connection between "3DCoat" clients and local license server "FServer".
4. Yes, a floating license is recommended for several users. But in "3DCoat 2021" it can be used without "FServer" in case "3DCoat 2021" clients can connect to the Internet.

Thank you for posting this thread in regards to the license. I have seen this and why I tried creating the FLOATING.license file. The machines have access to the internet, but the FLOATING.license appears to not be working. I will contact Serigii. Thank you so much for the email contact.
