can I manage remote NIVLM?

I've been running NI VLM on my laptop to issue licenses to a mixture of users of LabView and CVI.  Works fine when I'm at the office, not so great when I am traveling, or I turned off the license server, because it takes too much of my CPU resources).    I would like to move this to a 'real' server - but my COMPUTER service don't give me a remote connection to this server.    This would mean that one of them chasing every time that I needed to add/remove a user, etc..., it's why I'm doing this from my laptop.

VLM yet does Managing remotely?

Hey Kevin,

I don't know what you mean by TeleManagement. VLM is on a computer server, then the server machine should be consulted to configure VLM. If this is physically impossible, this will be done via the connection remotely.

Looks like you would be more useful to use disconnected licenses for your users. Disonnected licenses allow users to access software without pointing to the server Volume License. In this way, you should not run VLM, unless you add your licenses or edition users.

To put this in:

1. open VLM and navigate to your users

2. in VLM 3.0, select users and select cut in the left menu. VLM 2.1.1 right-click the user and select Disconnect.

3. This will generate a license file that you distribute to your users. Your users will open License Manager on the computers of their clients and go to Options-> license file install and install the disconnected license, that you have given them. They can then take their computers on the network and will not be affected when you stop the MVL or take your machine on the network.

Please report if you have any other questions. Good luck and have a great day!

Kind regards

Jackie
