Installing C Tech Premier Floating License Server

Installation Overview

C Tech Premier Floating License Software is provided to the C Tech contact for your company, and is automatically installed using the install program setup.exe. The Premier Floating License Server is compatible only with Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or newer.

EVS Enterprise (the client software) is compatible only with Windows 7 or newer.

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 not run properly nor detect the hardware key.

Windows 7, 8, 10, Server 2003 or newer Service

The floating license server software is provided in two different versions (forms). For Windows 7+, Server 2003 or newer there is a "service" that will auto-install. The service has the advantage that is 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 your company's Premier Server installation.
Do not attach your hardware key to the USB port until the installation completes
