Restrict access to CodeMeter activations on a server

Configure CodeMeter options to exclude a specific computer from accessing all CodeMeter activations.

Keep these considerations in mind when configuring CodeMeter options:

  • Only activations that are currently on the server can be configured.
  • Changing the access rules might require a refresh of the CodeMeter server.
  • To configure a computer to be a CodeMeter server, select the Run Network Server box on the Advanced > Configure CodeMeter page.

To restrict access to CodeMeter activations on a server:

  1. Open FactoryTalk Activation Manager on the server computer and click the Advanced tab.
  2. Click Configure CodeMeter.
  3. Click Web Admin to open the CodeMeter WebAdmin utility.

    Tip:

    In the CodeMeter WebAdmin utility, click the help CodeMeterHelpIcon icon for more information on settings and parameters.

  4. On the Configuration menu, click Server > License Access Permissions.
  5. In the Mode box, select Basic.
  6. In the Mode Configuration box, click Add. The CodeMeter WebAdmin utility adds localhost automatically.
  7. Enter computer names that are allowed to access the CodeMeter activations on this server computer. Computers that are not included in the Basic Mode Configuration client list are not allowed to access the CodeMeter activations. FactoryTalk Activation Manager does not display activations on the Find Available Activations page and they cannot be checked out.
