Network License For Multiple Workstations - HEIDENHAIN TNC 320 Operating Instructions Manual

Network license for multiple workstations

Before you can use a network license for multiple workstations, you
must start the server program "SmarxOS" on one of the computers,
and connect the USB dongle. This computer is then designated the
"dongle server," and monitors the connections to the client PCs on
which the programming stations are installed.
Proceed as follows in order to start the "SmarxOS" server program on
the dongle server PC:
 Copy the entire "CBServer" directory from the CD (\JH\CBServer) to
a local drive on your PC
 Start the server by running "CBIOSSrv.exe"
After the server program has started, the
taskbar.
The programming station PCs log on to the dongle server when they
start. During operation the server checks whether a logged-on
programming station is active. If the programming station PC has not
contacted the dongle server for some time, the dongle server logs that
PC off (default setting: 15 minutes). When you exit the programming
station, the respective PC logs off from the dongle server.
You can also install the "SmarxOS" server program as a service on the
dongle server PC. Services are automatically run when Windows is
started, and run in the background. That way you don't need to start
the server program manually each time you boot the PC. To install the
server program as a service, proceed as follows:
 Copy the entire "CBServer" directory from the CD (\JH\CBServer) to
a local drive on your PC

Start the server by running "CBIOSSrv.exe"
 Stop the server by pressing the "Stop" button in the server window
 Select the option "Run as Service"
 Start the server by pressing the "Start" button in the server window
The service is now run automatically when Windows is started. The
icon will not be shown in the taskbar anymore after the next time
the system is booted.
You may have to enter the CBIOSSRV.SRV program as an
exception in the Windows firewall software.
You can also check and change the settings for the "CBIOS
Server" service in the Control Panel under Administrative
Tools\Services.
