A license server must be installed on at least one system in your deployment. All
ControlSuite components pull licenses from this license server and maintain local "license
cache" so that they can stay licensed for 7 days if connection to license server is lost.
All licensing is performed in the Configuration Assistant for all products. The license
information can be viewed within the individual products consoles, but cannot be changed in
this view. ControlSuite utilizes a Licensing Entitlement Portal where license servers,
accounts and users are managed, and license entitlements are activated and
deployed.
- The license server is installed with the ControlSuite Shared Services
Installer.
- It runs as a NDI License Service Windows service.
- It installs to: C:\Program Files\Nuance\Shared Services\Licensing.
