EnterVol Software License Management

C Tech License File Updates provide a way to install and update licenses on both local and remote machines. The main functions of C Tech License File Updates include upgrading and/or updating C Tech Software Licenses for EnterVol for ArcGIS.

The Local License Management tab provides several important functions:

• Load .ctupdate File: Allows you to apply a C Tech License Update File (.ctupdate) to install a new software license for supporting products or update existing licenses.
• Refresh License Summary: Refreshes the License Summary display to reflect any changes.
• License Summary: Provides a summary of licenses installed on the local machine, as well as (local) system information such as the System Identifier used by software based (vs dongle) licenses. Also shows information related to the license providers, whether they come from C Tech USB Dongles or from C Tech Software Licensing.
• System Identifier: Unique Identifier that is unique to the local system. This is used for C Tech Software Licenses. Please refer to Requesting EnterVol Licenses for more info.
• Save Dongle Diagnostics: In cases where the dongle needs troubleshooting, this will prompt you to select a destination folder and will then generate a file containing diagnostics of all installed C Tech USB Dongles. If requested by C Tech support, please include all generated files as attachments for subsequent support emails.

Local Updates

For both license updates and license installations, if they are to be performed on the local workstation, then select the “Local License Management” tab in the C Tech License Manager, and click on the “Load .ctupdate File” button.

You will be prompted to select the .ctupdate file emailed to you. Select the .ctupdate and the license manager will report the result of the local update and also show the status of the updated licenses in the License Summary area.

Remote Updates

For both license updates and license installations, if they are to be performed on a remote server, then select the “License Configuration” tab in the C Tech License Manager. Ensure that you have configured a server by clicking on the “Add” button and then entering the Name or IP of the server. See EnterVol License Manager > Configuring License Servers for more information. Then you may click on the “Load Remote Update File” button.

You will be prompted to select the .ctupdate from the computer’s file system. Select the .ctupdate file emailed to you. After a brief moment, the license manager will report the result of the remote update. To view the status of the server, you may now click on the “Query Server” button on the same row.
