Altair® Panopticon

 

Using the Hosted Altair Units License in Panopticon Streams Server

Using the Hosted Altair Units licensing will support simplifying the license management by removing all manual aspects of emailing license files, extending evaluation periods, among others.

In addition, Hosted Altair Units licensing will help small to medium deployment customers who do not want to host on-premise license server.

Before using the Hosted Altair Units license type in Panopticon Streams Server, it is required to configure certain properties in the Streams.properties file  located in the AppData  folder or c:\streamsserverdata:

   NOTE

·         To use the Hosted Altair Units licensing, set the following properties:

license.hwu.hosted=true

license.mode=HWU

license.hwu.operating.system= WIN_X64

authentication.required=true

license.hwu.uri=6200@localhost

license.hwu.version=20.0

·         Add the Panopticon application to your Altair One account.

 

 

To authorize the machine against the Hosted Altair Units system, you have two options.

Option 1

If you wish to generate the authorization token through Altair One:

1.     Log on to Altair One (https://admin.altairone.com) then navigate to User Profile -> View My Authorized Machines -> Generate Auth Code (up in the right corner).

2.     Paste the generated code into the license.hwu.hosted.authorization.token  property in the Streams.properties file.

3.     Start the server.

 
Option 2

To eliminate token generation on your own:

1.  Enter your Altair One credentials into the license.hwu.hosted.authorization.username  and license.hwu.hosted.authorization.password properties in the Streams.properties  file.

2.  Start the server.

   NOTE

·         If a token is entered, this will be tried first. If the token was invalid or not present, and credentials are present, the credentials will be used to authorize the machine towards the Hosted Altair Units system.

·         A working Internet connection is required to use Hosted Altair Units licensing.

·         If you don’t have an Altair One account, you can sign up for a free trial and that will allow you to test the product for 14 days.
