Select a license server computer
The license server must be a physical computer and not a virtual
one.
You must designate one Microsoft Windows-based computer on the
network to be the license server. This can even be the WYNN server.
Install the license server on a networked computer that is not running the
WYNN client. Make sure that this computer is always accessible.
The license server handles requests for tokens. A token allows a WYNN
client to use WYNN. The license server issues tokens to the requesting
clients until there are no more tokens available. The number of available
tokens depends on how many license seats were purchased. For
example, if 10 seats are purchased, only 10 simultaneous WYNN
sessions are available. If an eleventh computer tries to use the WYNN
application, it is denied access to the application until a license seat
becomes available.
Install the license server software
The WYNN Network Authorization CD contains the network authorization
utilities, documentation, and tools. Insert the CD into the computer’s disk
drive, and follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
Activate the license server computer
This is the only computer that requires software activation. The other
WYNN client computers do not require authorization or activation since
they obtain tokens from the license server. For activation procedures,
refer to Activating the License Server on page 24.
Installing the License Server Software and Network
Authorization Tools
The following process describes how to install the license server, which
authorizes client computers to use your Freedom Scientific product. This
installation also creates a program folder in your Start menu that provides
access to the Network Authorization documentation and tools.
