WebConfig - Manage EA Floating Licenses

The 'Manage EA Floating Licenses' page allows you to manage Enterprise Architect (and Add-in) floating licenses.

Important: All communications with the Pro Cloud's Floating License Server are performed via HTTPS. Therefore, to use the Pro Cloud Server's Floating License Server functionality at least one Port has to be configured to use the HTTPS protocol (with a valid SSL certificate). See the 'Add a Port Definition' topic for details.

The 'Manage EA Floating Licenses' page has three sections, as described in this topic.

License Server Settings

The 'License Server Settings' section allows you to adjust the settings for handling Floating Licenses.

After adjusting these settings, save and apply them by clicking on the Apply button.

Total Key Count

(Read Only) Displays the total number of keys in the keystore.

Key leases expire after

These two fields determine when a checked out key is automatically returned to the keystore.

Enter a numerical value, then select either 'Days' or 'Weeks' from the drop-down list.

Auto Checkin

When enabled, if a user closes Enterprise Architect then their key will be immediately returned to the keystore.

When disabled, closing Enterprise Architect will not automatically return the key. Instead, the key remains checked out to the user for the amount of time defined by the 'Key leases expire after' field.

Typically the 'Auto Checkin' option would be disabled if users need to work offline for periods of time. Otherwise, the option should be enabled to make the most efficient use of shared keys.

Group Configuration

The Cloud Server allows you to define groups that only have access to a set number of keys for a specific product. To define and modify groups click on the Configure Groups button.

See the WebConfig - Floating License Groups Help topic for details.

Key Summary

The 'Key Summary' table on the 'License Server Settings' page provides a quick overview of the keys in the keystore for each product type.
