Installation

The CODESYS Mass Licenser requires .NET6 to be installed. You need to install this in advance. After that, run the installation file CODESYS Mass Licenser.msi. The installation wizard will guide you through the installation.

Before starting the CODESYS Mass Licenser, you need to do the following:

  • Place the CML.cfg configuration file in the C:\ProgramData\CODESYS CML\configuration\ directory and adapt this configuration.

  • Storage of the license files: The storage location is specified in the configuration file with the LicenseFile parameter.

    The license files might not have any contents at first. It is only relevant for starting the CODESYS Mass Licenser that the specified license files are available.

Other requirements for executing the CODESYS Mass Licenser

  • The CODESYS gateway for connecting the CODESYS Mass Licenser to licensing devices has to be configured.

    For more information about the CODESYS gateway, see: Tab: Communication

  • The computer where the gateway is installed has to be on the same network as the controllers (local). For this purpose, the CODESYS Control​ for Linux package can be easily installed on the computer (installation of CODESYS is not required). On Windows computers, an installation of CODESYS is required for this.

    The IP address of the computer is therefore also the gateway address.
