New installation (no existing license server)

Cameo Collaborator for Teamwork Cloud uses a floating license, managed by the FlexNet license server. The FlexNet license server information is specified when installing Cameo Collaborator for Teamwork Cloud, so make sure that you install the FlexNet server before installing Cameo Collaborator. Follow the steps below to apply the Cameo Collaborator for Teamwork Cloud license and start using the product.


To apply the Cameo Collaborator for Teamwork Cloud license


  1. Install and start the FlexNet license server.
  2. Check if the FlexNet server is running.

Cameo Collaborator is ready to use once you apply the license. Note that you can change the FlexNet license server details later if needed.

Working with multiple licenses

The FlexNet license server can contain only one license. If you want to add multiple licenses to the same FlexNet license server (e.g., Cameo Collaborator, Teamwork Cloud, and MagicDraw), contact your sales executive and ask them to merge the licenses.
