How do I activate my SpeedTree Enterprise license?

 Symptoms:

• How do I activate my SpeedTree Enterprise node-locked or floating license?
• I am a SpeedTree Enterprise user; how can I get started using the SpeedTree Modeler
• I have not been able to set up the SpeedTree Enterprise license on my server.

Cause:

For SpeedTree Enterprise users, we offer floating and/or node-locked licenses for purchase.

If you have purchased SpeedTree Enterprise but have not yet received your license key(s), please follow the steps below:

1. Under File> Licensing info, switch to the “Use a license” tab
2. Hit the “Request a license” button

If your mail:to license request does not work or open, you can also manually send a SpeedTree trial license key request to licensing@speedtree.com

Please specify whether you need node-locked and/or floating licensing, as well as whether you are working with a virtual machine acting as your license server. 

Resolution:

To activate a node-locked SpeedTree Enterprise license key, please follow the steps below:

1. Open the SpeedTree Modeler application.
2. Access the licensing dialog from the pulldown menu via 'Help' -> 'Licensing Info'. 
3. Switch over to the Pro/Enterprise tab, then copy everything in the license text provided and paste it into the text box below "License". 
4. Once this is done, click Apply.

[NOTE: This is a node-locked license, which will work only on the machine for which the Host ID was provided.]

To activate a floating SpeedTree Enterprise license, please follow the steps below:

1. Download the RLM Admin Bundle 
   Visit the Reprise Software site and download the desired RLM License Administration Bundle for your server platform.
2. Install the Bundle 
   Install the downloaded bundle on the machine designated to act as your license server.

3. License File Deployment
   You should have received two files from the SpeedTree licensing team: a license file (e.g., customer.lic), and a configuration file (e.g., idvinc.set). Copy both files to the RLM installation folder on your server machine.

   Note: If you do not have the configuration file, you can download it as an attachment file at the bottom of this article. 

4. RLM Server Activation
   - Run the RLM executable (rlm.exe) from the RLM folder. 
   - Ensure that the startup dialog indicates the use of the provided .lic file.
5. Web-Based Administration Panel
   - Open a web browser and navigate to the server machine to the following URL:  http://localhost:5054 
   - Log in with the default user and password:
   
   user: admin
   password: admin
   
   Note: Change the default password to your own to avoid issues with RLM.
   
   Then, use this panel to check the status of your license server, view active licenses, and perform any license management tasks.

Client Machine Configuration

On each client machine running the SpeedTree Modeler, configure access to the floating license using one of the following methods:

1. File Copy Method
   Copy the .lic license file to the same directory as the SpeedTree Modeler executable
2. Manual Entry Method
   - Open the license file to edit it.
   - Open the SpeedTree modeler > Help > Licensing info.
   - Copy the first line of the license text into the "License" text box and click on apply for it to activate.

Launch the SpeedTree Modeler on the client machine. To confirm that the license activation is successful, go to the Modeler and click on 'Help' > 'Licensing Info' to ensure the license is active.
