About License Server
In the next section, you'll see how to configure a computer server to distribute FrameworX licenses to other computers in the same network. This tutorial has two sections. The first section is this introduction, and the second is where we demonstrate what to do on the server and on the client sides to configure the project server in our platform.
License Server Configuring
On the Server side
Requirements
1. The Servercomputer must have the software platform installed and licensed.
2. The software must have applied license for the remote license server allowing a field higher than 1.
2.1. To check how many licenses are available, open the software and go to the License display, and check the Serial Number field as shown in the image below:

Running the web server
1. The first step for the server computer to be ready to accept remote connections from clients is to have a WebServer running.
A WebServer is an interface application used to manage the connection between computers in a network. The TWebServer is our software platform connection assistant. So, to connect other computers in the same network with the project server, you need the TWebServer connection assistant or a similar, for example, such as the Microsoft WebServer (ISS - Internet Information Services).
1.1. To run TWebServer, you must access the software platform installation folder (default path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Tatsoft\FactoryStudio") and open the TWebServer.exe file.
1.2. To check if the TWebServer is running:
A. You can open the Windows tray icons, close the Windows clock, and look for the TWebServer icon as the executable file icon, the same icon as the image above. When found, position the cursor over the icon, and a similar message "TWebServer is running...(Port: <Port>)" appears. The image case below appears (Port: 80), meaning port 80 (default) has been used for the WebServer. But, if another program uses that port, it is common to appear the 3100 number.
B. Or, you can go to the Task Manager window and look for the "FactoryStudioTWebServer" service in the Service tab.
If this does not appear, the TWebServer was not installed as a Service.
On the client side
Requirements
The clientcomputer must have the software platform installed.
Client-side setup
1. To do the configuration on the client-side, you must have the "RemoteLicenseService” text file.
A. To create one, open a new file in Notepad and write the following line:
| Code Block |
|---|
RemoteServer=<Server IP>:<Server Port> |
B. Save the file with the name “RemoteLicenseService.config” on your computer's Desktop.
C. Open the file and replace the specified parameters. Change the IP and port for the license server configuration. The IP is the IP of the computer's server, and the Port is the port we discovered in the last section (in this case, 80).
For example:
D. Save the changes made to the file (Ctrl + S).
E. Put the file in the following folder: “C:\ProgramData\FactoryStudio\.”
2. Open the software, access the License display, and refresh the page in the lower right corner.
3. See if the License is enabled, as shown in the image below:
