About the license service
In the first of every month will the Novacura Flow service send a usage file with information about how many users that is used on the Novacura Flow server. The address https://home.novacuraflow.com need to be reachable from the machine where the Novacura Flow is installed, so the Novacura Flow service can call home and check if the license is valid. If it is not possible to open up for https://home.novacuraflow.com, the license will need to be manually updated through the Novacura Flow studio every month.
It is possible to enter as many users as wanted to Novacura Flow studio but if the license is exceeded a massage will be showed in the Novacura Flow studio and an email will be sent to Novacura with information that this license is exceeded. Novacura will control how many users that is used after the usage file have bin sent and if the license is exceeded will Novacura contact the customer. To buy more users and connectors please contact your Novacura sales contact.
Check the following when license is not updated automatically:
Do the server have contact with Flow home? Run https://home.novacuraflow.com in a browser on the server.
If the Flow logotype shows up then is the server connected. Jump to step 2.
If there is no connection, then must internet connection be turned or opened up for Flow home to make the license service work.
Is the server address correct in the Flow service config file? Open the .config file in the Service folder under the Flow installation. Make sure that the address is the correct Flow server address for the installation, copy the address and run it in a browser on the server to make sure that it works.
If the server address was incorrect, do:
Change the address in the .config file to the correct address and remove the date and time for License_LastTime, save the .config file.
Go to Services and find the Flow service and first stop and after that start it again. (the service have the same name as the environment).
Wait some minutes, and open the service .config file and check of License_LastTime is updated with the current date and time. If it is updated, log in to Flow studio and check if the license is updated, next renewal date should be next month.
If this is not working go to next step.
If the server address was correct, do:
Open the Service/log folder under the Flow installation, and send the logs to product.support@novacura.com to look at them (logs are only available from version 6.3).
