License Server Configuration

    {info} License server configuration is only available from version 19.26.

    This document describes how to use Chemaxon's Central License Server (instead of a local license file).

    Get license key

    You can find your personal license key in the following link (after logging in with the Chemaxon account):

    https://accounts.chemaxon.com/licenses

    (Only available if you have an active license on the license server.)

    Install with GUI (recommended)

    You can use Chemaxon License Manager GUI. It is a simple application where you can manage the licenses of all Chemaxon products.

    • Start the License Manager:

      • Choose "Licenses..." from the Help menu of any Chemaxon desktop application.

      • Or find the License Manager among your installed applications (e.g., on Windows: Start menu → Programs → Chemaxon).

    • Under License server configuration , you can set your personal license key. You can optionally test the configuration here.

    • Click on Apply to start using the central license server.

    After successful configuration, available licenses are automatically checked on the license server when you start an application that requires a license. For this check, an active internet connection is required. After a successful license check, the specific application can be used for 30 days offline. (If you have troubles with the license check process, check your proxy settings and ensure that https://license.chemaxon.com can be accessed.)
