Activation

By default, the version of EthoTrack available on the site www.ethotrack.com works in demonstration mode and has certain limitations. To use all features of EthoTrack, you must have a valid license and activate the software.

The activation procedure depends on the license type:

Floating license by USB key :

Simply connect the USB license key to your computer.

The USB key must remain permanently connected to the computer as long as you wish to use all the functionalities of EthoTrack. If you remove the USB key, you will no longer be able to make any changes, nor save the changes already made.

Individual license :

1.Start EthoTrack.

2.In the window that tells you that your version of EthoTrack is not activated, click on the "Activate Ethotrack" button to open the activation window.

3.Choose the type of license: "Individual license", then enter the license number that was provided to you during your order.

4.If your computer is connected to the internet, click on the "Activate" button. Otherwise, click on the "Activate Ethotrack offline" link, then follow the instructions in the offline activation window.

If you want to transfer this license to another computer, you must first deactivate the license on the first computer before you can activate it on the second.

Server Managed Floating License :

1.Make sure that the license server is installed on a computer accessible on the network and that it is correctly configured and started.

2.Start EthoTrack.

3.In the window that tells you that your version of EthoTrack is not activated, click on the "Activate Ethotrack" button to open the activation window.

4.Choose the type of license: "License Server", then enter the information of the local computer, as well as the address of the license server and the port number.

5.Click on the "Test" button to test the link with the license server.

6.If the test fails:

•Check the parameters entered.

•Check that the server is correctly installed and configured, and that it is started (see the server help).

•Verify that the server and local computer firewalls allow communication on the specified port.

A license token must be renewed regularly. If the connection with the server is interrupted and the token cannot be renewed, it is automatically lost after 30 minutes. When a license token is lost, it is no longer possible to make changes in the experiment; on the other hand, it is always possible to save the modifications already carried out.

Remember to leave Ethotrack when you have finished your work, to release the token and allow another user to obtain a license.

If no experiment is opened in Ethotrack for more than 30 minutes, the token is automatically returned to allow another user to work.
