I got it to work - I use TF_GetServer to retrieve saved values if any and then TF_SaveServer to store new values. However. this seems to require to place dat file beside exec. Am I supposed o be able to insert in-between TF_PDetsFromByteArray so we can avoid this extra dat file…?
Deploying turbofloat clientsAnswered
Is there a way to make it so we can write a simple application that just saves IP address and Port number of floating license server without the floating license server even running. In our own floating license software we just save that to a file on disk and retrieve it from software plugins. We have a utility that pops up a small UI or can be used for deployment as a command-line. I did a first try of that calling TF_SaveServer but then if I try to get a TF_handle just to verify the values have been properly set I get 0 as TF_Handle. The doc says the .dat needs to be in same folder as executable, for activation we embed all that in the utility, I am wrong to assume the same process should work for floating license client. The same dot dat can be used for Activation or Floating, it's a license creation that the license type is set. Just asking for clarification so I don't fall in a rabbit hole :)

Correct.
Yes, you can use TF_GetHandle() and TF_SaveServer() without needing a connection to the outside (or LAN even). So, you can use both those functions to save the server location without making a connection to the server itself.
Yes, you can use that function if you want to store the .dat file in your executable and load it dynamically at runtime.
