Network USB plug contains purchased number of licenses, which may be used simultaneously and concurrently by multiple RAM Commander users.

 

Network USB plug should be physically connected to a computer which is always connected to the network and available to all other RAM Commander user computers. "License Manager" software (Windows Service) should be installed and running on this computer.

 

Before the installation, select a computer to act as the “plug server”. The network plug must always be attached to this computer so that users can access RAM Commander. The plug server does not need to be the application server - any other server or workstation will do. The only requirement is that this PC must be switched on whenever someone is using RAM Commander. Plug server and RAM Commander network server could reside on the same PC.

 

Note Only an authorized network administrator should perform this installation procedure.

 

The installation procedure is provided below:

 

1.Choose Plug Server PC.
2.Connect Network plug to the USB port of the Plug Server computer.
3.Run HASP License Manager Setup utility - Run the program lmsetup.exe from the RAM Commander installation CD "\HASP\Servers" folder with the latest version number in folder's name. You may also download the License Manager Setup from our website: https://www.aldsoftware.com/download/download/HASP_LM_setup.zip
4.Choose option to install it as Windows Service - see the picture below:
