TurboFloat Server instancesAnswered

Greetings,

We are developing a new product and LimeLM was chosen as the system that promises easy integration. After spending time and reading through all the documentation, it turned out that the TurboFloat Server doesn't exist yet. Theoretically, I could install it on my server, but it would take a lot of time.

TurboFloat activation looks very tempting, but this message is concerning:
"Hosted TurboFloat Server instances are coming soon."

Soon, but how soon? If it's a week, then I can wait. Or is it a year? I am willing to try the beta version.

I need to make a decision about which platform to use and which mechanism to use, with or without hardware binding… Should I install my server or not…

Can you please tell me when to expect the beta version?
How long does it take to install TurboFloat Server on my own server?
Can I install TurboFloat Server on a server that already runs IIS bound to port 80 and other ports?

 

Answer

it turned out that the TurboFloat Server doesn't exist yet.

What?

It does exist. It has for more than a decade. Get it on your API page.

The hosted TFS (TFS hosted on our infrastructure part of the upcoming LicenseChest) is both optional and will be out when it's out. ASAP. No hard date.

There are several points that are not clear from the provided documentation.

For example, I have 300 customers from different organizations. Can I run one server that will control them all? Based on the documentation, it seems that one license requires one server. If I need one server for one license, then I won't be able to use this technology. Also, the documentation doesn't specify how to specify the server in the TurboActivate.dat file or any other way to distinguish real licenses, etc.

Could you please explain in more detail how the activation process works if I install the server on my own server?

No. The typical use-case is a customer runs the TFS on their premises.

If you want to host TFS instances for them, you would need a separate machines (or, only recommended if you know how to deploy it correctly – separate VMs) for each separate TFS instance.

But, like I said (and the documentation describes) the TFS instances are intended to be run by the customers on their own networks.

it seems that one license requires one server.

Correct.

Also, the documentation doesn't specify how to specify the server in the TurboActivate.dat file or any other way to distinguish real licenses, etc.

Covered in each separate “Using TurboFloat” article for every programming language.
