AnyLogic Team License

Since version 6.7 AnyLogic supports a new type of license for AnyLogic Professional – the Team License. This
new license allows multiple users to share AnyLogic without physically moving a dongle between their
workstations. It can be useful for big companies where a number of employees working with AnyLogic is
great, but "AnyLogic team" changes over time and some people may leave it while others join it for a while.
The Team License is implemented as AnyLogic Team License Server that is installed on a corporate server.
The Team License Server keeps track of the number of AnyLogic copies run concurrently and allows you to
view and manage AnyLogic usage.
AnyLogic Team License requires:
1. Team License Server - an application with a web interface - installed on a corporate server.
2. One special USB dongle that is used by Team Server License. This USB dongle keeps information about
available/used licenses and digitally signs generated keys. This dongle is sent to the customer by post on the
license purchase.
The Team License works as follows:
The modeler requests a key from the server (this requires connection with the server). If there is an available
license, the key is issued and the modeler can use AnyLogic regardless of the network connection. This is
convenient when you know you plan to use AnyLogic intensively during a certain period of time and/or you
plan to travel and work on a plane, at a client site, or in a hotel. When you finish, you should explicitly give up
the license (at that time you’ll again need to be connected to the server), or (since the lease is time limited) it
may expire automatically.

Team License usage

The server manages all floating AnyLogic licenses of the company. However, this does not restrict all
company employees to use only this particular activation mechanism. Some company employees may
continue using AnyLogic activated using USB dongle or by activation key - they won't be counted by the
server.

Team License Server

System Requirements
Team License Server supports Windows only. It can be installed on a server or dedicated PC in the same
local network as all AnyLogic clients.
• OS: Windows 7 / Vista / Server 2003 / Server 2008 / Server 2012 / Server 2016
• RAM: 2GB (4GB recommended)
• CPU: Intel Core i3 or equals (Core i5 recommended)
• USB port
AnyLogic Team License Server installation requires 120MB of free disk space.
When installing the Team license Server, please make sure that the ports 8080, 8443 and 8009 are opened
and available.

Installing Team License Server

 To install Team License Server
1. Having purchased the package of floating AnyLogic licenses, you will get access to the AnyLogic License
Server installation file. Run the installation file (this requires administrator rights, so in case you do not have
ones, you may need to run it by double-clicking the file and choosing Run as Administrator from the context
menu).
2. The installation procedure is typical (please note that you will also need to install the dongle driver), just
follow the instructions of the Installation Wizard. You will be asked to specify the HTTPS port number that will
be used by the server connection. If the Wizard says that the specified port is not available, please specify
another port number.
3. Having finished the installation, you will see the browser opened and asking for the PIN code. The server is
activated with a special USB dongle that stores information about the number of the licenses purchased by
the company. Please insert this dongle in the USB port of the Server computer and enter the PIN code that
you get on purchasing the package of floating licenses.
The installation consists of Apache Tomcat (a servlet container and a webserver), USB dongle drivers and
server application (web application) itself.
Team server is installed as Windows Service under a system account.
After the installation the Team License Server is ready to manage AnyLogic licenses.
The server has the web interface, Server Console. There users may check the server status, number of used
keys and update the dongle.

Server Console
It may be helpful for the company employees to get some up-to-date information about the current server
status. This can be done by opening the Server Console in the web browser.
Server Console displays information about:

Working with the server

To activate AnyLogic on the target workstation, employee needs to lease a license from AnyLogic License
Server,

Leasing a license from AnyLogic Team License Server

 To lease a license from the server
1. Start AnyLogic.
2. If your product is not licensed, you will see AnyLogic Activation Wizard opened. Otherwise (if you are
evaluating AnyLogic and want to activate it permanently), open AnyLogic Activation Wizard by
choosing Help|Activate Product from AnyLogic menu.
3. With the AnyLogic Activation Wizard opened, select Lease a license from AnyLogic License Server option
and click Next.
4. On the second page of the AnyLogic Activation Wizard you should set the server connection settings:
specify the name of the license server in the AnyLogic License Server field and the number of the port that is
used for connecting with the server in the Port field. Please consult your system administrator to get the valid
settings. Click Next when finished.
5. AnyLogic requests a key from the server. If everything is OK with the connection and the server
has available license, server generates the activation key and sends it to AnyLogic on the target workstation.
AnyLogic stores this key in the user folder and continues to work as with usual AnyLogic software activation
key. No connection to the server is required. The license is leased and the corresponding message is shown
on the final page of the wizard. Click Finish and start using AnyLogic on this machine.
If all licenses are already leased at the moment, employee should contact the administrator to find the
person who can drop his license (see the section below). When some license becomes available, employee
should repeat the scenario described above.

Dropping the leased license to AnyLogic Team License Server

The server keeps a table of leased licenses. Leased license is unavailable until it is dropped (returned back) by
AnyLogic user or becomes expired (see the section below).
 To drop the leased license
1. Start AnyLogic.
2. Open AnyLogic Activation Wizard by choosing Help|Activate Product from AnyLogic menu.
3. With the AnyLogic Activation Wizard opened, select Drop leased server license option and click Next.
4. If everything is OK with the connection, the license will be dropped back to the server and the
corresponding message will be shown on the final page of the wizard. Click Finish.

License expiration and prolongation

The lease of the license has an expiration date. AnyLogic automatically tries to prolong the license on the
expiration:
• If the user is in the network and there is a connection with the Team License server, Anylogic receives a

new license key with prolonged expiration date.

• If the user has no connection to the server, AnyLogic stops its work until the connection is restored.

Changing the lease period of the license via AnyLogic Server Console
The standard lease period is 6 months, but there is a possibility for the Team License administrator to
decrease the lease period to 1 day. If you need to release the license before the end of this period, please
just drop the license as per instructions above.
 To change the lease period of the licenses
1. Open Server Console in the web browser.
2. Log in to change license parameters. The standard login and password are “admin”.
