Understanding the BlueCielo License Server service

The BlueCielo License Server service grants and reclaims licenses for all the Meridian clients, optional modules, and vaults on the same local area network. It manages licenses on a concurrent user basis with first come, first served priority unless licenses have been reserved. The service can run on a non-dedicated computer separate from the EDM Server service, but because of its relatively low overhead, it is typically more convenient to run on the same computer. There should be only one instance of the License Server service running on a local area network. For organizations with multiple Meridian sites, each site requires one license server regardless of any wide area network connectivity between the sites.

Note    The name of the computer running the BlueCielo License Server service is encoded in the transaction key of each Meridian license. Therefore, you should not rename the license server computer or move the service to another computer while Meridian is in production use. If the name of the license server changes, you must reregister the license for installation.
