AfterFLICS.ini

 

 

This file contains AfterFLICS Server information.

Initially the file will look like this:

[Port]

5022

[Servers]

localhost

[Guests]

everyone

<end>

 

You can notice several sections. Here will we describe each section.

 

[Port]

Like FTP, TELNET and many other services, AfterFLICS needs one port number to be able to communicate in relation Server<=>Guest.

Port is set to 5022 by default. If you experience any kind of problems you can try to change this number.

If the port number is changed, don't forget to change it on all Guest computers too and to restart the AfterFLICS service.

 

[Servers]

Default AfterFLICS Server is named 'localhost'. 'localhost' is actually a local machine.

In bigger company that would like to share licenses over the network on every 'Guest' computer they will have to add the 'Server' computer name or IP address.

 

[Guests]

This section is important only for computers that are license servers. Only computers that are listed inside this section will be able to access the license(s).

You can also use the keyword everyone to allow access for any computer.

 

<end>
This represents the ini file end. Do not delete this line.

 

Here is an example of network authorization.

Assume a company with 5 computers and 'N' licenses installed on computer named MainComp and 'Guest' computers named from Computer1-Computer5.
Each Computer1-Computer5 .ini file should look like this:

[Port]

5022

[Servers]

MainComp

[Guests]

localhost

<end>

 

Notice that we have removed 'localhost' from the [Servers] list because local computer does not have any license installed.

MainComputer's .ini file should look like this:

[Port]
5022

[Servers]
localhost

[Guests]
localhost
Computer1
Computer2
Computer3
Computer4
Computer5

<end>

 

Note: If you want allow everyone to access the license(s), you can rewrite your [Guests] section like this:
[Guests]
everyone
