How Floating (Concurrent) Licenses WorkInstallation | 18Floating licenses are "pooled" licenses that can be shared across a group of users. They are most often deployed whenan organization has a group of users that will only consume a license for a minority of their working hours. The licensesare returned back into the license pool as soon as they are released. Other users can then immediately reuse them.Note: A user who runs two different distributions of the application (for example Standalone and Eclipse Plugin)at the same time on the same computer, consumes a single license.The license management is done either by the application itself or by the Oxygen XML Author plugin license server:• if you plan to use the application on machines running in the same local network, Oxygen XML Author plugin canmanage the licenses usage by itself. Different running instances of the application communicate between them. Theregistration procedure requires you to paste the license key in the license registration dialog. See Named User LicenseRegistration procedure for more details.• if you plan to use the application on machines running in different network segments, then you must use a OxygenXML Author plugin floating license server. A floating license server can be installed either as a Java servlet or asa standalone process.Setting up a Floating License Server Running as a Java ServletSetting up the floating license servlet.Apache Tomcat 5.5 or higher is necessary. You can get it from: http://tomcat.apache.org/1. Download the license servlet Web ARchive (.war) from one of the download URLs included in the registrationemail message.2. Go to the Tomcat Web Application Manager page. In the WAR file to deploy section choose the WAR file and thenpress the Deploy button. The oXygen License Servlet should be up and running, but there is no licensing informationset.3. To set the license key, log on the deployment machine, and go to the Tomcat installation folder (usually/usr/local/tomcat). Then go to the webapps/oXygenLicenseServlet/WEB-INF/license/ folderand create a new file called license.txt. Copy the license text that was sent to you via e-mail into this file andsave it.4. It is recommended to password protect your pages using a Tomcat Realm. Please refer to the Tomcat Documentationfor detailed info, like the Realm Configuration HOW-TO - Memory Based Realm section.5. Once you have defined a realm resource, you have to editwebapps/oXygenLicenseServlet/WEB-INF/web.xml file to configure user access rights on the licenseserver. Note that Tomcat's standard security roles are used, i.e.: standard for licensing and admin or manager forthe license usage report page.6. By default, the license server is logging its activity in/usr/local/tomcat/logs/oxygenLicenseServlet.log file. To change the log file location, edit thelog4j.appender.R2.File property from the/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/oXygenLicenseServlet/WEB-INF/lib/log4j.propertiesconfiguration file.7. Restart oXygen License Servlet from the Tomcat Web Application Manager page.Contact the Oxygen XML Author plugin XML support staff at support@oxygenxml.com and ask for a new license keyif:• you have multiple license keys for the same Oxygen XML Author plugin version and you want to have all of themmanaged by the same server;• you have a multiple-user floating license and you want to split it between two or more license servers.Report PageYou can access an activity report athttp://hostName:port/oXygenLicenseServlet/license-servlet/report.It displays in real time the following information:
