License Management ❚❘❘ License File Sample for a Single or Distributed Server Model Following is an example of a completed license file for a single or distributed server model.

License File Sample for a Redundant Server Model Following is an example of a completed license file for a redundant server model.

The license file is required for using combustion on a network. As a result, the license file must be located on a network share that is accessible to every user that runs combustion from a network installation. License Types combustion deployment on a network supports two license types: Commercial and EDU/Institution (designed for educational institutions). Both license types enable permanent use of combustion. combustion Communication with the License Server When combustion is running, it sends a communication signal to the license server at regular intervals. If the communication signal is missed, the server tries to reconnect. If it cannot, it sends a message to the user indicating the license error. Once the user acknowledges the message, the user can save the work in progress and can inform the systems management of the problem. When combustion stops working because it lost a connection to the server, the user must shut down combustion and restart the program. If the problem causing the original loss of the communication signal is resolved and there are available licenses on the server, the program starts working again. Note: If you are using the redundant server model, the communication signals are passed between redundant servers. 11
