Using Altair Units License in Panopticon Real Time

 

Before using the Altair Units license type in Panopticon Real Time, it is required to configure certain properties in the Panopticon.properties file  located in the AppData  folder or c:\vizserverdata:

 

 

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.

Default Value

true

Property

Licensing

Attribute

license.hwu.operating.system

Description

The operating system where Panopticon Real Time is installed. Possible values are: WIN_X86, WIN_X64, MAC, LINUX_X64, or LINUX_ARM64

NOTE:  If the Java bitness (e.g., 32-bit) is different from the operating system (e.g., 64-bit), it is recommended to add the Java bitness in this property (e.g., WIN_X86).

Default Value

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

·             Panopticon Real Time supports different user roles which check out different numbers of Altair Units.

·         Alerts and scheduled tasks are leveled towards each other. Regardless of the number of alerts or scheduled tasks a user creates, only two Altair Units licenses will be checked out.

·         These units are separate from the units that are checked out for a user of the server. For example, if a user is logged on to the server (two units) and starts an alert (two units), a total of four units are checked out. If the user then starts two more alerts and a scheduled task, the total number of checked out units will still be four. If the user logs out without shutting off any alerts, two units will remain checked out.

·         Two products (e.g., Panopticon Real Time and Panopticon Streams) or two instances of one product, must not be configured to use Altair Units licensing if they run on the same Tomcat.
