Please be noted: this solution only works for ZWCAD series product since 2022, it doesn't work for previous version, and it is only for floating license setting.


If there are a lot of workstations need the IT guy to set the floating license, which is boring and time-wasting, here we provide a bat file for that setting work. Due to the License manager change, this solution doesn't work for 2021 or previous versions.

  1. IT guy can run the first tool (ZWCADFloatingLienseSetting.bat) to get a ready XML file (license.xml) in the current folder.

  2. Share the XML file to the workstation, they can just put the bat file: DistributeFloatingLicenseOnWorkstations.bat together with the XML file generated by the 1st step in any place, like desktop, Open the file with notepad, and make small modification about the product and year folder name (it just use ZWCAD\2022 as an example), then run the bat file (just double click to run it or just click open from the right-click menu).
  3. Then start ZWCAD series product, you can find that it can get the floating license from the right server. If any problem, then you need to contact the corresponding people for troubleshooting.
  4. If you just want to set a few workstations, you can also run the bat file ZWCADFloatingLienseSetting.bat directly to set the floating license, just need to set the info as the image shown in 1st step, this is also a manual way to set the floating license while you cannot access the LM in the workstation.


Note: it will remove all the floating setting and use the one you specify by this tool, and set it as active license.

For example, here is the setting before using the tool

Then use the tool to set the server as aa, then it will be like this.
