Configure a New Workstation

Configuration of a new workstation is carried out using the ALS Client Configuration Tool.

To launch the ALS Client Configuration Tool, in the Windows Search field, enter als to display the best match.

Select ALS Client Configuration Tool.

The AVEVA Licensing Client Configuration Tool window is displayed.

The tool allows the configuration of the license server and the timeout for the currently logged in Windows user (via the User Environment settings) or for all users on the workstation (via the System Environment settings).

After the ALS has been installed it is configured to use the following default ports:

Note:
The primary objective of a firewall implementation is to provide security to an organization's network. In simple terms, a firewall solution enables only certain applications to communicate from 'the outside world' (for example the internet) to the organization's network, and vice versa. To enable AVEVA applications to function, 'communication' ports may need to be opened.

AVEVA recommends that the default ports are used if possible. If you do not want to use the default ports then they can be changed as follows:

If AVEVA applications have previously been installed, it is highly recommended that you use the same port numbers configured in the workstations that run the AVEVA applications. To find out these port numbers implement the following:

• For workstations running AVEVA applications that are licensed with the ALS, run the ALSClientConfigTool.exe tool.

When the license server port numbers have been set, the workstations that run the applications must be configured so that they can locate the license servers. To do this, run the ALSClientConfigTool.exe.
