Workstation License¶
These node-locked licenses are valid only on the computer upon which they are installed. We email you a physical local license file which communicates permission to use M-Star. The locking mechanism is through the MAC address. These licenses are self contained and easier to set up.
End User License Setup¶
These licenses are locked to a specific computer. Request a standard license file by sending your host ID (MAC address) in the form 00:00:00:a1:2b:cc
to M-Star support (see here for help locating your MAC address). When you receive the license file, do one of the following to install it:
Option 1: Copy to Install Folder¶
Copy the license file to the application install folder. On Windows, this will be
c:\program files\M-Star
. On Linux, copy to the install folder “bin” subdirectory.In the License Setup, enter your ID, which is included in the email with the physical license file, in the File space.
Option 2: Environment Variable¶
Place the license file wherever you like, eg.,
c:\licenses\mstar.lic
.Set the environment variable to
mstar_LICENSE=c:\licenses\mstar.lic
.
