License via URL (API)

Hi,

I'm running into a few problems setting up the chemaxon license via the API. 

When I set up a license in a test (licensing using the API), or using the standalone license manager GUI for my machine, the license works fine.

When I set up the license as an enviroment variable pointing directly to a file, the license works fine.

However,  when I set up the license as an environment variable pointing to a URL:

 

<systemProperty>


                           

    <name>chemaxon.license.url</name>


                               

<value>http:// etc </value>


                       

</systemProperty>

or using the API in a WebApplication to point either to a file or a URL:

LicenseManager.setLicenseFile("Filename or URL")

then I get errors that the license is not valid.

Any suggestions? 

Cheers,

Brendan

Hi Brendan,

Does your license have a "Server Use: Allowed" permission ?

This is required if you want to specify a remote URL.

(Please make sure it is not a public web URL of course ...)

However as a local file it should work fine.

If it still looks like bug please 

- let us know the exact JChem version

- send us the license file to support _at_ chemxon.com

- let us know the actual usage (with the actual file path, unedited)

Cheers,

Hi Szliar,

 

It does not have that permission. I wondered about that, but wanted clarification. Thank you for the swift response.

 

Best wishes,

Brendan
