As mentioned above, the driver for a local hardware lock is installed automatically during the standard cadett ELSA installation. This is true for network locks as well. When making the central installation on a server, all necessary drivers to use the same server as a license server are automatically installed.

 

In some cases, it might be beneficial to use a separate server for the licenses. The license server must then be separately installed on that server. This could for example be a good idea when using a virtual server for cadett ELSA. A separate physical server can be used for the license server and the hardware lock. (There are also solutions available where a USB lock is connected to a virtual server, not to mention solutions without any physical lock at all).

 

The procedure to install a separate license server is described in a topic named Automatic separate driver installation.

 

A network hardware lock is technically different from the local locks. In other words, it is not possible to use one type instead of the other or the other way around.
