Licenses
The licenses can be managed under Antcas Control Setup
Licenses . The licenses are created per server and expire.
Note: If you need additional licenses for your project, you can purchase them via the following link https://antcas.com/goto/buy_license.
All additional options are licensed individually. In addition, the server must be activated. This happens automatically in the background.
There are three different types of licenses:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Main license of the server. This is essential for operating the server. In addition, the basic options are defined by this. | |
| Extends the main license by a number of options. | |
| This is an additional option that activates a complete additional function. |
Adding A License
Click on Add on the left side. Then, all license keys can be entered one below the other or separated by a comma.
Then click on the button Add at the bottom right. The process may take a moment depending on the number of license keys. If the operation was successful, the added keys will be removed from the list and the management will be displayed. If errors occurred, they will be output next to the license key. These messages do not need to be removed if you want to repeat the process.
Note: To ensure that new license keys including metadata are added correctly, a database update may be necessary. Reinstall Antcas Control or perform a
System Check in the
Setup.
Upgrading A License
The previous license key has been extended by additional metadata since the Antcas Control version 2.15. Antcas Control tries to upgrade this automatically. This significantly increases the performance of the software. If this fails, you may be asked to try manually. Click on the icon Upgrade in the
Setup to extend it.
Removing A License
The licenses are removed in management. Right-click on the corresponding license and then click Remove. This process cannot be undone. Therefore, back up your licenses.
Downgrading A Server License
When attempting to directly downgrade the license, an error message appears. You must first completely remove the server license before it can be replaced by a lower version.
Backing Up All Licenses
The licenses can be copied in their entirety. Right-click on a license and select Copy All. Then all displayed licenses are in the clipboard.
Purchasing A License
If you need additional licenses for your project, you can purchase them via the following link https://antcas.com/goto/buy_license. For this purpose, provide us with the dongle key and the server identification. This is displayed under ? Adding a license. You must be logged into Antcas Control for this.
Note: Do not create a screenshot of the view, as the dongle key may be longer than the view. In addition, there is a high risk that it will be misinterpreted.
Tip: After opening the info dialog, press CTRL+C without focusing on a text field. This action copies all server and license information to the clipboard. Access to the setup is required for this action. See the following example.
