If you are using the AVEVA Licensing System (ALS) you will need to follow this process to add a new server.

Add a new server or site

  1. Select the Server/Sites option in the navigation rail. A page showing your current list of servers will open.

  2. Select the Add. The Licensing System dialog opens:

    The licensing system new server dialog.

  3. From the Target Licensing System dropdown list, select your chosen licensing system. Some target licensing systems are provided for historical reasons and cannot be selected for a new server.

  4. In the Locking Criteria section, leave the Lock to Host slider at the On position to lock the server to the host. To lock the server to a dongle, move the slider to the Off position.

    Note: If you have moved the slider to the Off position the options in the Locking Criteria section vary.

  5. If you select Lock to Host, do one of the following:

    • Select Upload to upload the locking information file for the server.

      To generate the locking information file automatically: When you open the AVEVA License System Console for the first time, it generates a locking information file named AVEVA-Server-HOSTNAME-info.txt. The generated file is located in the ALS installation folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\AVEVA\AVEVA Licensing System\RMS\Tools.

      To generate the file manually: Run: C:\Program Files (x86)\AVEVA\AVEVA Licensing System\RMS\Tools\AVEVA-Locking.bat.

    • Enter the locking information manually in the fields provided.

  6. From the Country list, select the country where the server is located.

  7. (Optional) Select Group who can request licenses. You can enter the name of a CONNECT Group. Users in that CONNECT Group with the CALM Write permission can request licenses for the server. This value defaults (for new servers) to the corresponding CALM setting. If left blank, then any account user with CALM Write permission can request a licence for this server.

    Note: You must have CONNECT Admin permissions to edit this Group setting. See CALM user groups.

  8. To enable the server for license call-off, leave the Server Enabled slider at the On position. If you do not want to enable the server for license call-off, move the slider to the Off position.

  9. (Optional) Use the Server Location Description, Customer Server notes, Server Tags and Disabled server reason boxes to add any notes or tags to the configuration.

  10. Select Add Server. The server is added and is displayed in the Servers page.

    Note: To delete a server, select the delete icon corresponding to the server. You can only delete a server that has not been used for an order.
