License deployment model
Two types of references can be used:
|
Configuration
|
Example of Megasite.ini
|
Comment
|
|
Local configuration
|
[Must licence]
Path=\\server001\Apps\Licenses
|
The Must license folder (\\server001\Apps\Licenses) is configured in the file Megasite.ini of the HOPEX Installation
|
|
Shared configuration
|
[Lan]
clusterrootpath=\\mega\data
|
The file Megasite.ini of the HOPEX installation refers to the root of a shared configuration folder (ex: \\mega\data\ClusterRoot\Cfg) containing another file Megasite.ini. This file contains a direct reference to the Must license folder (\\server001\Apps\Licenses).
This type of reference must be used for Citrix/TSE deployment
|
When HOPEX is run by user U0001:
1. A configuration file (megasite.ini) is read to identify the license folder.
2. The license folder can be referenced directly (local configuration) or indirectly (shared configuration).
3. The license folder is read to identify the authorized license file for this user.
4. The Must license configuration is read to identify the products authorized for this user.
5. Connection is made if tokens are available for the authorized products.

File access
File access in the license folder should be similar to that of accessing a HOPEX repository data file. Contact MEGA Support if you encounter problems.
