Configuring a CLC Network License Manager connection in a license.properties file
To configure a connection to your site's CLC Network License Manager without launching each CLC Workbench:
- Launch one CLC Workbench.
- In the License Assistant of that Workbench, choose the option Configure license manager connection and provide the relevant information.
- Close the Workbench after the license connection has been configured.
- Find the file called
license.propertiesunder thesettingsfolder in the Workbench installation area. - Copy the
license.propertiesinto thesettingsfolder of each of the other Workbench installations.
A license.properties file created this way will contain the following lines. The information after the = sign depends on what was entered in the License Assistant.
serverip=your.license.server serverport=6200 disableborrow=false autodiscover=true useserver=true username= usecustomusername=false
A sample license.properties file containing settings relevant for connecting to a CLC Network License Manager can be downloaded from
https://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/deployment/license.properties.
If the Workbench has previously been configured to use the QDI Licensing Service, this file will also have a line for the property use_qdi_licensing. Ensure this line is deleted, or the value set to false, i.e. use_qdi_licensing=false.
