How to connect a client to a license server in a command prompt on Windows

In the command prompt, type in the following command to install the license validation (anchor) service:

> C:\Program Files (x86)\Toon Boom Animation\Toon Boom [Product Name] [Version] [Edition]\win64\bin\LicenseWizard.exe --console --install-anchor-win

Enter the following commands to create and edit license.dat:

> mkdir C:\flexlm

> copy con C:\flexlm\license.dat

• If you have not configured your license server to use specific ports:

  SERVER <server name> 0 ANY VENDOR toonboom USE_SERVER

  Replace <server name> with the IP address or hostname of the license server.

• If you have configured your license server to use specific ports:

  SERVER <server name> 0 <license server port> VENDOR toonboom PORT=<vendor daemon port> USE_SERVER

  Replace <server name> with the hostname or IP address of the license server, <license server port> with the port which the license server is configured to use, and <vendor daemon port> with the port that the vendor daemon is configured to use.

Press Ctrl + Z to close the text input and save the file.

At this point, you should be able to launch the software. If the software fails to activate, make sure that the configuration is accurate and that the license server is properly configured.
