When you choose this option the wizard assumes that you have already received a valid license file and stored it on your computer. If you do not know how to request a license file please read → this page.


Info

A node-locked license is linked to one computer permanently and it cannot be used on other machines. If you have more than one computer please decide which one you want to use before you request the license. It is very important that you use the correct “hostid” for creating the license, because this is irreversible.

...

When you choose this option the RLM license manager application must be installed and running. Additionally, this method requires that you have already purchased and downloaded your floating license from the “Customer Gateway”. If the license file is not stored on your computer, please follow the steps in → this chapter.

It could be that you have multiple RLM instances running, because other applications use this technology as well. In this case you might need a different port. Please check out → this page to learn how to assign a new port to RealFlow's RLM manager.

This method requires that you have already purchased and downloaded your floating license from the “Customer Gateway”. If you have a floating license, but the RLM license manager has not been installed yet then this is the right option for you. Also if you want to install a dedicated RealFlow RLM server you should choose this method. If the license file is not stored on your computer, please follow the steps in → this chapter.


Info

Please bear in mind that this process requires admin rights under Windows. RealFlow can be launched with full administrator rights by right-clicking on RealFlow icon. Simply choose “Run as administrator”.

  • To finally purchase a license click on “Click here to go to the RealFlow...”.

  • Once we have confirmed your purchase you can create and download the license file, and proceed with the installation process by choosing one of the previous options in this wizard.

...

The "hostid" is required for the node-locked and floating licenses (the Id in the screenshot is an example). With this Id your final licenses will be created, so please make sure that you are using the correct one, because it is different for every computer. Once the Id has been added to your license it cannot be changed anymore – this process is final. In the “Customer Gateway” of RealFlow's website you have to enter the “hostid” and claim your license file. The file will be stored on your computer and can use the wizard again to install it. To get the Id for a different computer, please click → here.


Info

Users of the demo version do not need the “hostid”.
