Applied to: ZWCAD 2018, 2017
Issue:
Sometimes you may find it is unable to get floating license from the server due to some reason, instead of contacting technical support to check, you can get the license by setting the Windows Registry.
Solution:
1. Create a txt file and copy the following content to it, then save as a txt file with any name available;
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager]"ZWFLEX_LICENSE_FILE"="port@IP" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ZWSOFT\ZWCAD\201x]"Network"="1""ZWFLEX_LICENSE_FILE"="port@IP" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FLEXlm License Manager]"ZWFLEX_LICENSE_FILE"="port@IP" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZWSOFT\ZWCAD\201x]"Network"="1""ZWFLEX_LICENSE_FILE"="port@IP"
Note that you need to change the "port@IP to the port and IP of your server. The default port is 27000. And you also need to change "201x" to the 2017 or 2018.
2. Double-clicks to run the txt file; If double-clicking, the txt file is opened by NoteBook, then you need to run it by Windows\regedit.exe.
3. Open ZWCAD to check the license from the server.
