Client setup

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

 

Every client computer that should run CFturbo has to be configured for using the floating license.

Auto configuration

CFturbo is able to automatically detect running license servers in the network. No further configuration is needed on client side, if the detection succeeds. If the client is not able to find the license server, it has to be configured using the environment variable.

The detection relies on the client being in the same network broadcast subnet like the license server and a default configuration of the license server. For further details see RLM Support for License Administrators and Users.

Manual configuration by environment variable

The Windows environment variable CFTURBO_LICENSE is used to identify the location of the license server.

It is set to <port>@<host>

<port>:  port of the license server for connection between client and server

<host>: host name of the license server machine (name or IP address)

The default port - if not configured in the server license file (on the SERVER or HOST line) - is 5053.

Example:

CFTURBO_LICENSE=5053@rlmhost

Multiple license servers are separated by semicolon:

CFTURBO_LICENSE=5053@rlmhost;5053@rlmhost2

 

For details about how to set environment variables, please consult your IT department or the Windows documentation.
