ZONA Software License Manager

ZONA's software use a license manager called ZONA License Server (ZLS). When ZONA's software is licensed, ZLS is included with the delivery of the software, and is installed seperately. In order to execute a ZONA Software job, the software (e.g., ZAERO, ZEUS, ZONAIR...etc.) requires that ZLS issues a license (or token) to the computer that will be executing the job. Depending on user requirements, this can be achieved on multiple computers within a network, or on a single computer.

The following components are needed:
(A) ZONA License Server (ZLS)
(B) USB Dongle (provided by ZONA)
(C) ZONA Software
(D) Java

Note that Java must be installed on both the server machine and client machines.



ZONA Software Installation Options

During installations of ZONA's software, e.g. ZAERO, ZEUS, ZONAIR...etc., you will be prompted to type the IP address of the machine in which ZLS is installed. If all needed components (A, B, C, & D from above) will be installed on the same machine, you may install as the "Node-Locked" option, identifying the IP address as "Localhost". See below for more details regarding each installation option.

1. Node-Locked License Installation

A Node-Locked License allows a single computer to run the ZONA software. The total number of jobs submitted concurrently on this computer cannot exceed the number of licenses (i.e., tokens) purchased from ZONA. This installation requires that all components (A+B+C+D from above) be installed on a single machine.


2. Floating License Installation

A Floating License allows for the ZONA software to be installed on multiple computers. The ZONA License Server (ZLS) must be installed on a machine (i.e., a server) connected to a network that is accessible by any other machines that contain the installations of ZONA's software. Note, that a "Floating License" installation of the ZONA's software must be performed on each machine that is to utilized to run a job. The server (ZLS) then issues one license (or token) to each computer on the network that submits a job. The total number of jobs submitted concurrently, on all computers connected to this server, cannot exceed the number of licenses purchased from ZONA for this particular server.

The server's IP address (e.g., 123.123.123.3), domain name (mycomputer.com), or machine name (e.g., MY_COMPUTER1) is needed to install as a floating license. Please ask your IT Administrator if you do not have this information. You will be prompted to input this information during each Floating License installation. However, the IP address can be entered manually after the ZONA software installation is completed by setting the appropriate environment variable. This information is discussed in more detail in the ZONA License Server (ZLS) Quick Start Guide that is provided with the hard copies and electronic copies of software deliveries.



License Transfer Request

Prior to receiving a license, a Point of Contact (POC) Form must be filled out that specifies the machine that will host your license(s). Licenses are generated using information such as the MAC Address, IP, etc.

When transferring a license to a different machine, you will need to fill out a License Transfer Request (LTR) Form in order for our licensing team to generate a new license for the new machine.

This new license will be emailed to the address provided on the POC/LTR form.
