Warning

If your Magic Collaboration Studio is using a multi-node Cassandra cluster, you must have a Business Pro or Enterprise license. Magic Collaboration Studio will deactivate if it detects a multi-node cluster with either a Standard or Business license.

Whenever a Magic Collaboration Studio node connects to the FLEXnet License Server and retrieves (leases) a license, the number of available licenses will decrease. If all available licenses from the server are leased, the node will not be able to launch and you will need to reactivate once a license becomes available.

If your FLEXnet License Server is down, the server capacity shall be set to zero. All currently active users can continue working but they cannot sign in again once they log out as no user can sign into the server at that time. A user with Configure Server permission (Server Administrator role) can sign into the Teamwork Cloud Admin to select a new license server.

You can see information about your current license on the Server license page of Teamwork Cloud Admin. The information includes the license edition and expiration date, the license version. See section Changing a Magic Collaboration Studio license to change or update your license. 

If you want to update the license, see Changing a Magic Collaboration Studio license.


Using DSLS

Note

You need to have DSLS (Dassault Systèmes License Server).

If you use DSLS, configure the Magic Collaboration Studio license in the application.conf file as described below.


To apply the Magic Collaboration Studio license using DSLS

  1. Open for editing the <install_root>/MagicCollaborationStudio/TeamworkCloud/configuration/application.conf file.

  2. Specify the following set of properties in thecore section of the file:

    Code Block
    dsls {
	enabled = true
	address = "license-server-address:4085"
	mode = "CUSTOM"
	edition = "MC5"		// possible values: "MCS", "MC5", "MCSEDU"
    connection-packs = 2
		}

    OR add and specify the following set of properties at the end of the file:

    Code Block
    esi.server.core.dsls.enabled=true
esi.server.core.dsls.address="license-server-address:4085"
esi.server.core.dsls.mode="CUSTOM"
esi.server.core.dsls.edition="MC5"	    // possible values: "MCS", "MC5", "MCSEDU"
esi.server.core.dsls.connection-packs=2

    where:

    • 4085 is the default port.
    • The valid values of the mode property are:
      • CUSTOM - This means that the address provided in the address property is used to connect to the licensing server.
      • ORGANIZATION_DEFINED - In this case, you do not need to specify the address property since it is already defined in the DSLicSrv.txt file by the organization. The API will check out licenses from servers defined in that file. You can find the file in C:\ProgramData\DassaultSystemes\Licenses on Windows or /var/DassaultSystemes/Licenses on Linux and Mac.
    • The valid value of the edition property is the product trigram used to check out licenses in DSLS. To find the trigram of your product, refer to Product trigrams.
      Note

      If you are using an MCS Academic license, you should set the following:

      • edition = "MCSEDU"

      • the connection-packs property does not need to be specified.
