Scenario 2: Computer (online) or VM connected to a Local License Server

Overview

In this scenario, the computer (physical machine or virtual machine) with Local License Server is connected to internet, the GE Vernova product licenses are collected by communicating with Cloud License Server and then the licenses are activated in the intranet computer installed with License Client.

The virtual machine with all the three software: 1) License Client, 2) Local License Server and the 3) License Server Tools must be installed. If you have a separate computer pre-installed with Local License Server, you do not have to install Local License Server in your virtual machine.

Steps

Follow the below steps for a physical machine or a virtual machine installed with Local License Server software:

1. From the Windows Services console (Press Windows+R on your keyboard, then enter services.msc and press the Enter button), confirm that the License Server is running.
   
   
   
2. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\GE Vernova, and then double-click Local License Server Administration Tool. A message appears asking if you want to allow this application to make changes to your device.
3. Select Yes to continue. The Local License Server Administration Tool screen appears, as shown in the following figure.
   
   
   
4. Select Add Licenses. The following screen appears.
   
   
   
5. Enter your activation code, and then select Add Code.
   Note:

   You can find the activation codes in your GE Vernova order e-mail.
6. Repeat step 5 for each license you have.
7. Select Activate. The Licenses screen should now display all the licenses activated on the server, as shown in the following figure.
   
   
   

Activate your Product Licenses on License Client
