2.90:Grooper Licensing (Service)

Grooper Licensing is a Grooper Service that distributes licenses to workstations running Grooper applications.  Except for stand-alone Grooper installs, a Grooper Licensing service is required for all deployment scenarios.

For client-server environments, a Grooper Licensing service is installed and started on the host server using Grooper Config.  Then, a License Server object is created in Grooper Design Studio and configured with the host server's name and port number.  Next, the license is activated using the "Activate Online" button and entering Grooper serial number, or, if necessary, imported from a .lic file using the "Import License Package" button. 

Client machines can then be set up to access licensing information by creating their own License Server object, referencing the host server's name and port number (Note: You will also need to add the server's machine id to the Machines folder to accomplish this).
