Installing C Tech Floating License Server

C Tech Software is provided only via download, and is automatically installed using the install program setup.exe (which will autorun if your system is set up to do so). C Tech's Floating License Server is compatible with Windows 7, 8 or Server 2008R2 or Later. Earth Volumetric Studio (the client software) is compatible only with Windows 7 or 8.

NOTE: When performing key update operations and using the Key_tools.exe program shown below, you must be logged into the console (physically at the server machine). Remote Desktop and Terminal Services will often not run properly nor detect the hardware key. We cannot provide tech support for remote access to key services.

Windows 7, 8 or Server 2008R2 or Later

The floating license server is a "service" that will auto-install. The service starts automatically on boot, does not require any user to log in, and uses very little system resources. This is ideal when the server software is to be installed on a company's computer server.

To install the service:

First run the Floating License Server installation.
Do not attach your hardware key to the USB port until the installation completes
