Running an own Activation Server

If you run the Activation Server on your own machine, you can also use the automatic uploading of the configuration files . This requires a special configuration of the server. If the configuration is not possible, you can always manually upload the configuration files.

 

 

Step 1 - Link to the administration interface of the Activation Server

 

To configure the link to the server, press the button Change URL and type in the URL to the Webserver, e.g.

http://www.mydomain/lpweb

 

 

Step 2 - Configure the settings for the FTP access

 

Configuration for automatic upload

 

For an automatic upload of your Multimedia Protector configuration files to the Activation Server you have to provide a FTP access. Install an FTP-Server with access on FTP-port 21. Provide a FTP-account which has full read/write access to the Activation Server installation including all subfolders (like ..\bin, \alg).

 

Now configure the FTP account in the Multimedia Protector Generator.

 

FTP-Server address: name of the FTP Server like registerserver.net

FTP Account: FTP account  user name

FTP Password: password - always use a password with this FTP account

Installation path - path where the Activation Server was installed

PATH on FTP Server - path to the Activation Server server directory, relative to the home directory

 

Example:

The installation path is on f:\wwwroot\lpweb. The FTP user's home directory is f:\wwwroot .

 

The installation path would be f:\wwwroot\lpweb. As the home directory of the FTP user is already f:\wwwroot, the relative path to specify would be: lpweb.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Primary / Alternative Harware ID

The primary hardware ID is used as the main criteria to activate copy protection. Only if this criteria is not retrievable the Alternative Hardware ID is used.

 

For single user installations or CD distribution, the hardware ID 4 (NetBIOS Name) is recommended. For network installations use installation code 5 (Volume ID + UNC Path) or 6 (MAC Address + UNC Path).

If you offer a USB-Stick installation, the Primary Hardware ID must be 11 (USB-Stick).

 

Theses values are automatically assigned to each new project.

 

How often can a Serial Number be used?

 

It can be defined, how often a Serial Number can be used. The default value is 1. If you want to allow, that the product is installed e.g on 3 different PC's, then change here the value to 3.

 

This option is only available in the Premium version. You also need a valid hosting account. Order Hosting.

 

Every time you change a setting of the Activation Server, you have to upload the configuration again to the Activation Server - See Update project on the Activation Server
