Requirements

Please refer to the Technical Requirements Guide in order to be sure that the XLSTAT Network Concurrent License can be used on your network.

Download and Installation

1. Download the server software from this link: Download XLSTAT Network License Server

2. Ensure that the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)  is installed on the server device (can be downloaded from here),

3. Install xlstatnls.msi after downloading it.

4. After the installation, the service XLSTATNLS should be added to your list of services.

5. The service should have been started automatically. If it did not, simply right-click on it then select Start in the services list (accessible by pressing Windows + R , then typing services.msc ).

Activate a Network License

Please Note: Trying to activate a non-network license key here will result in an error.

1. In your start menu, search for XLSTAT Network License Server Admin Tool and double click on it.

2. Allow the program to launch as an administrator. This might require that you type in administrator credentials.

3. Ensure that the server is in a Running state, starting it if it is not the case.

4. Click on the Licenses tab.

5. Click on the Activate new license button and paste or type in your license key.

6. Click on the Activate button.

7. Wait for the license to be activated. The service will automatically restart.

8. Ensure the key has been activated by reviewing the status displayed on the right side of the  Information and controls tab.

 
Your clients should now be able to retrieve a license using the ip address and the port that is displayed in the Information and controls  tab as long as they are connected to the same network as the server. 

• The server ip address corresponds to the hostname of the machine on which the server is installed. It can be obtained via the command prompt as follows: Windows key + R > type 'cmd' > type 'hostname'
• The hostname is also visible in your system information. 

Note: It is possible to register several licenses on your XLSTAT Server. Here is an example of the view with 3 network licenses:
