Instead of using a RLM license server hosted by the user (or the user’s company or organization), licenses may also be configured to use a license server hosted by M2M. This may be the case for

• evaluation licenses
• licenses for pay-per-use licensing models
• licenses for cloud computing

Also, M2M may host floating licenses on their server upon customer request.

In this case, a single *.glic license files from Math2Market is provided. Install the .glic file for GeoDict as described for node-locked licenses.

The .glic file is an encrypted file. Besides other information, it contains the address under which the GeoDict client will find M2M’s license server and a specific key which identifies the user and gives him access to a specific license on the web server which is not accessible to other users. Therefore, any firewall active on the computer or domain where GeoDict is installed, has to allow the geodict.exe executable to access both servers rlm1.math2market.de and rlm2.math2market.de through TCP/IP ports 5053 and 42825.

To test the access to the M2M license server under Windows run in the power shell:

Test-NetConnection rlm1.math2market.de -p 5053 

Test-NetConnection rlm1.math2market.de -p 42825

Test-NetConnection rlm2.math2market.de -p 5053 

Test-NetConnection rlm2.math2market.de -p 42825

To test the access to the M2M license server under Linux run in a terminal:

nc -zv rlm1.math2market.de 5053 42825

nc -zv rlm2.math2market.de 5053 42825

In this licensing model, GeoDict cannot run if there is no internet connection or if the communication between GeoDict and the license server is blocked in any way. Be aware that the license server logs the usage of each license and can create detailed usage reports (as is a requirement to bill customers based on the usage of their license).
