C Tech Client Software is provided on CD-ROM, and is automatically installed using the install program setup.exe (which will autorun if your system is set up to do so). EVS/MVS floating license client software is compatible with Windows 7 or newer Operating Systems. The installation procedure is identical on all operating systems.
Run the EVS setup program and select the option for the software version you have purchased. See the Detailed Installation Instructions for further information.
Respond to the prompts of the installation program.
You may uncheck the option to Install Key Driver. The hardware key is only installed on the server. If you are installing the server and client software on a computer, the key driver software need only be installed one time. (installing the key driver is harmless if not needed)
Following installation run the KeyTools.exe program in the tools subfolder of the C Tech program group ON THE SERVER MACHINE (the one with the hardware key).
Click on the "Floating License Commands" tab.
If you plan to occasionally run the client software in a standalone mode (by also running the standalone floating license server) so that computer (such as a laptop) can act as a server when separated from the network, check the "Also Specify Client" toggle as shown below.
Click on the "Write servers.cfg File" button.
At this point, specify the location of the file servers.cfg. This file is used on all client machines (including the server if it will also be running the software) to specify the location of the server on your network.
The following message will appear to remind you to copy this file to the appropriate folder on each client machine. For EVS-PRO (float) the location would be ctech\bin\pro\servers.cfg.
If you open the file in an editor like notepad you will see the following (in this example the server name was GIGA).
localhost specifies that licenses may be obtained from the same machine upon which the client software is running.
