License Manager Options

It is possible to specify the types of license which are displayed in License Manager by selecting the associated check box for each type of license:

In the main menu, select Tools |Options....
In the Options dialog, the License Manager tab is selected by default.
In the License Manager tab, select the types of license to display.
If required, adjust your Startup type. See the information below
In the Options dialog, Click OK. The Licensing Service will be restarted if changes have been made.

The License Service

The License Service is a background task that runs alongside your Datamine applications. It is started either manually, via the License Manager or Windows Services Control Panel, or (by default) automatically when either the Datamine Tooltray or a Datamine Studio or other supported application is launched.

The service continually checks that your product(s) are permitted to run or, where more modular licensing is relevant, whether particular functions within your product(s) are permitted to run.

If the License Service is not running, you won't be able to use applications that depend on it. You can see the status of the License Service in the Options dialog. You can also use this area to stop, start or restart the service.

If you have selected the wrong Installation Type / Startup type during installation

If an unwanted mode is selected and installation is complete, what you do next depends on the version of License Services in use:

If running License Services version 5.7, it is necessary to uninstall and reinstall License Services to choose a different start up type.
If running License Services version 5.8 or later, you can alter the Startup type after installation by running License Manager in Administration mode:

Open Tools | Options | License Manager as an Administrator
Change the Startup Type to either LocalDesktop (=Physical), Private Cloud or Public Cloud.
Click OK or Apply.
The License Service will automatically restart and your new configuration will be applied.

If you change your Installation Type/Startup Type and already have licenses bound to Machine IDs, these licenses may be invalidated and will need to be reissued. If you already have Machine ID-bound licenses and need to alter your operation mode, please contact your local Datamine office for advice.
