If you are a concurrent license customer, BlueZone License
Manager is required to monitor concurrent license limits.
BlueZone
License Manager is a small application that resides on a server in
your network. The BlueZone emulation clients communicate with BlueZone
License Manager through TCP/IP. The BlueZone emulation clients must
have the IP address of BlueZone License Manager stored in their configuration
in order to communicate with the BlueZone License Manager server.
Note: If
you are evaluating BlueZone Web-to-Host, you do not need to install
or configure BlueZone License Manager. When BlueZone is running in
the evaluation mode, it operates without BlueZone License Manager.
There
are two ways of configuring the License Manager IP address:
- Wizard configuration method
- BlueZone emulation client configuration method
Using the Wizard configuration method, the Wizard adds
the License Manager IP address and group name (if any) to the object
tag that is located on the launch page. All sessions that are configured
to start from this launch folder automatically have the License Manager
IP address configured, regardless of the type and number of sessions.
If
you use many different BlueZone emulation clients like BlueZone Mainframe
Display, BlueZone iSeries Display, BlueZone VT, and BlueZone FTP and
you have many BlueZone configuration files to manage, the Wizard configuration
method is recommended.
Using the client configuration method,
you must start a BlueZone session for each BlueZone configuration
file that you have configured in the Wizard and place the License
Manager IP address and group name (if any) in the configuration and
save it.
Important: When you configure BlueZone Web-to-Host
to allow your users to save their configuration files locally (the
default configuration), BlueZone Web-to-Host will not overwrite the
user's configuration file even if you have posted a new one on the
web server. In this case, your users must run ezClear before they
can receive the new configuration file that contains the License Manager
IP address and group name (if any).
If your requirements
are very simple, you use one BlueZone emulation client like BlueZone
Mainframe Display and you have one BlueZone configuration file that
is used for all your BlueZone emulation client sessions, the client
configuration method is recommended.
Also, in many cases, using
the client configuration method makes it easier to convert from evaluation
mode to production mode.
