Options
The Display server console message window can only be used on a JetStream License Server machine. Check this option if you wish a DOS window to open each time the NavisWorks Licensing service is started on the server. This DOS box can give useful information about what is actually happening in this background service. This may be of particular use when trying to identify a connection problem between the License Server and a Client machine.
Note
Closing the DOS window will stop the NavisWorks Licensing service (although the Windows Services panel will still report it to be started). If you don't require the message window any longer, uncheck the option in the Advanced tab, then manually Restart the NavisWorks Licensing service.
Crypkey ID locking and Ethernet ID locking are the two methods that JetStream uses to lock a license to a machine. Crypkey ID locking is the JetStream method of software locking and Ethernet ID locking is the JetStream method of hardware locking. At least one of these should be checked and by default, both are and should remain checked.
If there is no Ethernet card inside your PC (or you use multiple cards), you cannot use Ethernet ID locking and should instead use only Crypkey ID locking. This will mean, though, that you will not be able to use the Recover license functionality if you were to lose your license later.
Sometimes the CrypKey service can be problematic to run on PCs of certain configurations, particularly when a RAID disk subsystem is in use. Un-checking this option and relying instead only on Ethernet ID locking can make it easier to install licenses in these circumstances. However, this will mean that you will not be able to Return licenses for transferring to another PC.
These options matter if your machine changes configuration for whatever reason between first installing your licenses and accessing them. Two specific situations are:
1. If you have to recover a license when, for example, a machine crashes, make sure that you have the same combination of Crypkey/Ethernet ID locking options checked as when you first licensed the machine.
2. If your laptop PC uses a docking station in the office that contains the Ethernet card and it cannot access the Ethernet card when undocked, then you should not check the Ethernet ID locking option when requesting your license, if you want to access the licenses when undocked.
