How to add license information for all users

Hello,

We have  lab of 25 workstations and each running Windows 7 x64 SP1. We are testing CCS 5.3 for a class. I set up the network license service and tested it on a manual license setup on 1 installation of CCS 5.3 and it works. However I then discovered that if another user logs into the workstation the license information is not remembered and that user has to enter the license information again. 

How can I append the license information for all users that log into the workstations instead of individually ask all my users to enter the license information?

I've tried adding the enviroment variable: LM_LICENSE_FILE with the value:  27009@servername.domain (actual FQDN server name) and that doesn't work

I've tried created a file called licenselocation.txt with a single line item entry as the above entry and put it in C:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\DebugServer\license\licenselocation.txt

and that doesn't work.

I'd appreciate some assistance

Thanks for the help,

Jason

  • Hi Jason,

    I am not sure if there is any workaround unfortunately.  Am I correct assuming you installed ccs and selected the option to install for all uses?  One thought if possible would be to create a generic lab login.

  • Thanks for the reply Lisa.

    When I ran the installer there was no option to pick for all users or single. Just to verify I downloaded version 5.4 (i downloaded the small size installer that pulls the larger installation files). I ran through the install and there is no option to pick to install for all users or single. I only get installation path, custom or full install. I left everything default. 

    Generic login will not work for our purposes. 

  • Hi Jason,

    yeah, it depends on the version of windows I suppose.  Unfortunately I don't believe there is a work around sorry to have to say.

    Best Regards,
