Installing Geocap with a license server is a two-step procedure:
You only need to install the server software once. A new license file will usually have to be installed once every year. After that, all upgrades of the Geocap software are done on the client PC side.
When the license server is running and Geocap has been installed on the client PC, Geocap will automatically find the server using a broadcast mechanism. If this does not seem to work set the LSHOST environment variable to a comma separated list of hostnames.
1. Determine which machine on your network should be the license server. This need not be a particularly powerful computer, but it must be able to connect to the machines that will run Geocap over the network.
2. Download the Lock Code (Wechoid) software to the selected server from this link.
3. Start the downloaded (wechoid) software and make sure that ONLY the Disk ID is checked.
4. Send the Selector and Code in an email to support@geocap.no.
5. When you have received the license file from us, save it to disk. The exact location is not important, but you should make a note of it.
