Using a Conﬁguration File

A server administrator might give you a conﬁguration ﬁle that contains all of the information needed

to create the connection to their server. To use the ﬁle, use the “+” button for My Network

Connections on Preferences > Network > My Connections page and chooses the “Add Server with

Conﬁg File...” option. The connection will be added once you browse to the conﬁguration ﬁle and

choose to import the connection.

Any connection that you create, either with a conﬁguration ﬁle or by entering the IP address, is

saved as a preferred connection. If “Automatically connect to license servers found on the network

(LAN)” is checked, the license service will attempt to connect to any public server that does not

require a password or identity information as well as these preferred servers when they are seen on

the network.

Seeing What Network Licenses Are Available

Once you have enabled network licenses on your computer, the iLok License Manager will have

both a Local and a Network tab in the location list on the left. Local will show your computer as

well as any iLoks that are plugged into it or registered to your account. Network will show servers

that you are connected to and the licenses that they are sharing. The “Leased By Me” column

shows which licenses you are currently using.
