AfterFLICS Tools Windows
If for any reason AfterFLICS service fails to install you can do this manually by pressing "Install" option from the "Service" menu.
Communication port is the port on which AfterFLICS Server and Guests communicate. If you change Port number inside AfterFLICS.ini you will need to press "Restart" option from the "Service" menu.
Later, if you are doing any AfterFLICS updates manually (not recommended), please press "Stop" option from the "Service" menu and after you're done with the update press "Start" option.
From the licenses tab, you can see which, and how many, licenses you have installed. Reported plug - in version does not reflect the most current update you have installed.
Instead, the version for which you have obtained auth code is written behind the plug - in name. AfterFLICS tools will automatically update the number of licenses in use.
Refresh - Manually update the Licenses list.
Show Usage - Enable this option to list computers that are currently using one of the licenses.
