nProtex is licensed by number of connected stations.  If there is one server (web sup) and 10 JACE devices that would require 10 licensed stations.  The only station that needs a license file is the server.  Once the license file has been installed the subordinate JACE

Step 1. Install License (Automatic or Manual)

Automatic Installation

To automatically install or "fetch" your license:

  1. Navigate to Services/nProtexService/License within your Workbench station
  2. Right-click on License and select Action > Fetch License

At this point your license file will be downloaded from Activelogix servers, copied into the appropriate directory, and loaded. You should now be able to access nProtex through a browser at http://IP_of_host/nProtex.

Manual Installation

To manually install the license, copy the license file into the following folder:

  • {STATION_HOME}/shared/alx
    • On a typical CPU, this will be: C:\ProgramData\Niagara-4.X\{brand}\station\{station_name}\shared\alx
  • The "alx" folder should be created if it does not already exist in your station shared folder.
     

Debug License

The "Debug License" action will generate some additional information about your license file into the Station Output. This can be a useful tool to identify license problems or assist tech support.

nProtex does not use normal Niagara licensing and does not require a certificate

Step 2. Activate Subordinate Stations

The second step activates all connected JACEs which prevents having to install individual license files per station.  To activate JACEs:

  1. Navigate to Services/nProtexService/License within your Workbench station
  2. Right-click on License and select Action > Activate Stations

This will attempt to connect to all Stations in the Niagara Network, look for Services/nProtexService and activate them.  Once activated, connected JACEs will be usable within Periscope as well as use the Firewall functionality.
