My Connections

If you are on a network where someone is running a license server and sharing special network

licenses, you can set up your computer to use those shared licenses.

Connecting Automatically

Once you’ve opened Preferences, click on Network, then My Connections, and then click on the

“Automatically connect to license servers found on the network (LAN)” checkbox. This tells your

computer to look for available license servers on your network and to try to connect to them. The

list of public servers found on your network will appear below this checkbox. You’ll see the server’s

name, IP address, and whether or not it requires a password (PW). A closed lock icon means a

password is required and an open lock means no password is required.

A server that shows as connected but with a yellow icon will require some additional identity

information before you can use a license that it is sharing. To ﬁnd out what identity information you

need to provide, click on the server in the list of your connections and then add any of the identity

information that is marked as required. The illustration above is missing the required Email Address.

Information in the My Network Identity section is used for all of your network connections.

Entering a Password

If you want to automatically connect to a password-protected server, you will need to provide the

password. Select the connection and then click on the Edit button under the list of connections.

The Edit button has a gear icon on it. Choose the Connect option and you will be prompted to

enter the password. The password will be saved for future use so that you can connect

automatically without even launching the iLok License Manager application.
