Manage Group Configuration

In order for users to 'check-out' a floating license they must be a member of a Floating License Server Group. The definition of a Group controls which Product Licenses members of the group can 'check-out' and the period of time that the group is valid.

To view the Manage Group Configuration screen click on the Manage Group Configuration button in the main toolbar.

The default Group configuration includes the definition of a number of Groups:

The first group shown in the example above is 'admin', each Floating License Server installation will require at least one administration group, for the purpose of allowing connections from the Floating License Server Configuration Client, admin groups cannot be assigned Products and so therefore can not be used by Enterprise Architect to obtain a license. 

The remaining groups are example of normal (non admin) groups that can be used by Enterprise Architect to obtain a license. 'Joe Average' is an example of an expired group that can no longer be used to obtain a license, any attempt to use this will result in a error message indicating the specified group is not longer valid.

Note: Manage Group Configuration was introduced in PCS version 4.2, the Floating License Server Configuration Client in combination with the  Pro Cloud Server can now manage the configuration of Floating License Server Groups, prior to this the Group file (ssflsgroups.config) had to be manually edited using a text editor.
