To use cadett ELSA, you need two licenses:
•An AutoCAD or Solo eXs license provided separately. For AutoCAD, please refer to the AutoCAD topic. For Solo eXs (an embedded AutoCAD OEM), please refer to the Solo eXs licensing topic.
•A cadett ELSA license provided by a local hardware lock, a server-based hardware lock or a FlexLM license server. The latter is covered in this topic. Licensing based on hardware locks is covered in the Hardware locks topic.
The license service for cadett ELSA is of the same type as is used for non-named floating licenses of AutoCAD (FlexLM/LMTOOLS). If you already have a running license server of that kind, you may be able to add the cadett ELSA licenses to that. If you do not have such a license server already, you need to create one. Since compatibility between different versions of FlexLM is far from guaranteed, you are however encouraged to always install the cadett ELSA license server separately, and not mix it with licenses for other products, like AutoCAD or others.
The cadett ELSA license server can be installed on a server, which is the only practical solution if you have multiple licenses. It can also be installed on the workstation itself, which is a good solution for local installations, where you want to bring the license along, when for example travelling or for other reasons not being connected to a network.
For the licensing to work, you need to:
•Install a license server
•Get a license file
•Configure the license server
•Configure the workstations
You will find the necessary instructions for all those steps in the sub-topics that are listed below.
•Preparations for installation of a license server
•Installing the license server
•Setting proper permissions to the cadett_ELSA_license folder
•Configuring the firewall on the server
•Collect data needed to request a license file
