GLD Network Dongle Instructions

This page contains the information you need to activate and install the network version of GLD^TM using the network license dongle. This information is directed towards IT Managers/Network Administrators.

Overview: For multi-license users, GLD^TM uses a hardware network USB dongle that enables a number of workstations that are all connected to the same LAN/WAN to run up to the purchased number of licenses simultaneously. Instead of requiring one dongle per computer, a single network dongle is installed on any PC in the network. The computer that holds the license key is referred to as the server. This can be either a traditional server or a standard PC attached to the network. Please follow these steps to get GLD^TM up and running on your network:

• Install the network edition of GLD^TM on all network-enabled target computers. The network version of GLD^TM is available for download here.
• Attach the license key to the “server”.
• Open up a web browser on the server and type in the following URL : http://localhost:1947
  
  This address provides access to the license manager admin control center.
   
• In the control center, in the leftmost column find the CONFIGURATION option and click it.
   
• Select the ACCESS TO REMOTE LICENSE MANAGERS and check all three options (allow access to remote licenses, broadcast search for remote licenses and aggressive search for remote licenses)
   
• Click the SUBMIT button
   
• Next, select ACCESS FROM REMOTE CLIENTS and check “allow access from remote clients.
   
• Click the SUBMIT button
   
• Restart the HASP License Manager by going to the control panel → administrative tools → services, finding the HASP license manager, and then restarting it.
   
• Repeat steps 3 through 9 on all WAN PCs that will be accessing the license key.
   
• When you start GLD^TM and it logs into the network, the splash screen will indicate “logged into network”. If GLD^TM does not show this screen and closes automatically it means either a) all network licenses are currently in use or b) your network license configuration needs to be double checked.
   
• From within the license manager admin control center (step 3 above) the network administrator can select the HASP KEYS option in the left column to see current license status.
