AE workgroup licensing utility

AE Workgroup Licensing Utility configures licensing nodes that are in workgroup environment, so that node-to-node communication can be established between licensing components (License server and License Manger). The AE Workgroup Licensing Utility allows you to add a license server to a remote license manager in work group environment.

Using this utility, you have to create a new user account or use an existing user account. You must use the same user account on each node that requires communication with licensing components of other nodes in workgroup environment.

The AE Workgroup Licensing Utility is available under:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA\Licensing Framework\License Utilities

You can either run the AE Workgroup Licensing Utility in UI mode or in silent mode.

Verify whether the node is configured or not

• Under Computer Management, in the Users folder, check for the new user that you have created.

• Under Component Service, in Services(Local), check if the License Manager is logged on as the user that you have created/selected.

• Under C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric\Licensing\License Manager, right-select Data folder and select Properties. Under Security tab, in Group or user names section, check if the user created by you is present.

You can use this tool to create the same user in all nodes. Once the nodes are configured, you will be able to add the license server in license server manager.
