Using the License Server to License Velocity

The client license server is a Ivanti application that is responsible for supplying licenses to Smart devices that are using the Velocity Client.

The client license server should not be confused with the Ivanti Avalanche license server. They are separate Ivanti applications.

For information about installing and configuring the client license server, see the Terminal Emulation License Server Reference Guide on the Ivanti Web site.

When you use the device to attempt to initiate an emulation session with a host, an unlicensed Client automatically attempts to obtain a license from a license server.

To use the license server to obtain a license

1.When you attempt to connect to a host using the Velocity Client, it broadcasts a request for a license on the local IP network. Or, if you have configured the license server address, the Client sends a request to the specified license server.

2.License servers with an available license respond by offering a license.

3.The Velocity Client accepts the first license that it receives and sends a reply to the license server.
