The "Configuration | Basic | Server Search List" page allows to define access to and order of installed CodeMeter network LAN and WAN (Wide Area Network) server.
Figure 45: CodeMeter WebAdmin – "Configuration | Network“
The Server Search List is used to define the access to and order of CodeMeter network LAN and WAN (Wide Area Network) servers.
By default, the Server Search List holds the entry "Automatic server search (255.255.255.255)". Then licenses are sought first locally and then in the network (subnet). Using the entry "add new Server" allows you to decisively add single target server addresses.

You edit the Server Search List by using the respective
Alternatively, you are also able to set the Server Search List using the configuration files CodeMeter.ini or Server.ini. The table below shows you where to find the respective files.
In the separate section [ServerSearchList] define the server as the exampe below shows:
When you define network settings, in some cases, this requires the restart of the CodeMeter service. However, you do not have to eject or deactivate the CmContainer. After you specified the settings you are able to stop and then restart the CodeMeter service in CodeMeter Control Center. For non-Windows operating systems see here. In order to check for a successful connection, on the "Home" page click the "Host Name" button and look for the successful appending of the PC as server. The check works also by opening CodeMeter Control Center on the clients and the server and looking for the communication status in the respective "Events" tabs.
Using in a local area network (LAN): By specifying the PC names or IP addresses you define that the client requests exactly address the defined CodeMeter network server. This increases the performance on the network.
Using in a wide area network (WAN):
Specify the IP address(es) for client requests to the defined CodeMeter License Server in the WAN.

This entry allows to automatically search licenses on servers, first locally and then in the network (subnet). A so-called broadcast is performed.
The entry is added at the end of the list. If the list holds the entry as last entry, using "add new Server" the new Server is added as second last entry, i.e. without changes the entry "Automatic server search (255.255.255.255)" always remains at the end of the list. If the list holds the entry other than the last, using "add new Server" the new Server is added as last entry. |
