the connection has not been re-established, JetStream will be unlicensed and therefore automatically
close.
4.3. Advanced tab
From this tab you can manage your JetStream license in detail.
4.3.1. Machine Information
The text boxes in the Machine Information section may be useful when resolving licensing issues and
communicating licensing information with NavisWorks Ltd.
•
Machine name is the name of the machine the license manager is running on, complete with its
domain or workgroup name - this is its fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
• Machine ID is a series of coded characters used to uniquely identify the machine. The first part of this,
ID:, is the CrypKey ID used for CrypKey ID Locking. The second part of this, ET:, is the Ethernet ID
used for Ethernet ID Locking.
• Crypkey ID expiry is the date that a time-limited license will expire, for example when using
JetStream during an evaluation, or grace period.
• Crypkey site code is the software code required by NavisWorks Ltd. for emergency licensing. See
Emergency Licensing for more information.
4.3.2. License State
You can actually view the license file in Notepad by clicking on the View License File button. This will
show all the licenses and codes that make JetStream work, but be warned that changing this file can
seriously damage and invalidate your JetStream licenses. The View Last Message button is useful in
case you need to re-view the last message information, such as if licensing fails and you need to pass on
the information to your support provider.
4.3.3. 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
