The FactoryLogix Application Service handles license requests from all FactoryLogix applications. The Application Service combined with a hardware dongle (if required) controls the number of users that may use a FactoryLogix client application concurrently and the system settings they can access.

Before activating a FactoryLogix license, do the following:

•  Obtain the FactoryLogix Server setup file (available on the Aegis Support Gateway).
•  

• Obtain the License Control File (*.lic file) that matches your license number.

•  Verify that you have a hardware dongle (if required) and that it is installed securely on the license server machine.
•  Device drivers for the dongle (if required) are installed (drivers are available from the Aegis Support Gateway in a file named SentinelProtectionInstaller.zip).
•  Confirm that the FactoryLogix Application Service is installed on the license server machine (see Install the Application Server).
