Using Altair Units License in Altair's License Server

If your license source is Altair’s License server, it is required to configure certain properties in the Streams.properties file  located in the AppData  folder or c:\streamsserverdata:

   

Property

Service authentication level

Attribute

authentication.required

Description

The property that will make the authentication required. It will force the user to login in order to use any of the services provided by the server. Must be set to true.

true

Property

Licensing

Attribute

license.hwu.uri

Description

The path where the License Server is running e.g., 6200@191.255.255.0 where the syntax is PORTNUMBER@HOST. If multiple servers are specified, use the ‘;’ semicolon separator sign for Windows and the ‘:’ colon separator sign for Linux.

NOTE:
If value is not set in the Streams.properties, the environment variable ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH serves as the backup path and will be used
