Using Altair Units License in Altair's License Server

If your license source is Altair’s License server, it is required to configure the following properties in the Panopticon.properties file located in the AppData folder or /etc/panopticon/appdata

 

   

Property

Licensing

Attribute

license.hwu.uri

Description

The path where the License Server is running e.g., 6200@191.255.255.0 where the syntax
is PORTNUMBER@HOST. If multiple servers are specified, use the ‘;’ semicolon separator sign for Windows and the ‘:’ colon separator sign for Linux.
NOTE:
If value is not set in the Panopticon.properties, the environment variable ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH serves as the backup path and will be used.

Example

For Windows:

license.hwu.uri=6200@192.168.5.51;6200@192.168.5.52

For Linux:

license.hwu.uri=6200@192.168.5.51:6200@192.168.5.52

Default Value

 

Property

Licensing

Attribute

license.mode

Description

The license mode. Possible values are FILE or HWU. Must be set to HWU.

Default Value

FILE

 

For example:

license.hwu.uri=6200@192.168.5.51;6200@192.168.5.52
license.mode=HWU

 

NOTE:

  • Panopticon Real Time supports different user roles which check out different numbers of Altair Units.

  • Alerts and scheduled tasks are leveled towards each other. Regardless of the number of alerts or scheduled tasks a user creates, only two Altair Units licenses will be checked out.
  • These units are separate from the units that are checked out for a user of the server. For example, if a user is logged on to the server (two units) and starts an alert (two units), a total of four units are checked out. If the user then starts two more
    alerts and a scheduled task, the total number of checked out units will still be four. If the user logs out without shutting off any alerts, two units will remain checked out.
  • Two products (e.g., Panopticon Real Time and Panopticon Streams) or two instances of one product, must not be configured to use Altair unit licensing if they run on the same Tomcat.
