Wibu Key and Multiple Users

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello,

Currently have ArchiCAD 12 installed with the USB dongle and was wondering if there's any config change I need to set up on the WIBU key manager in order to allow other users to use the software without inserting the USB dongle?

Do I need to get the network share USB dongle or will this standalone one work? Of course, only one user will be able to access it at a time. Thanks.

Sharing a single-license WIBU key worked fine on my network between Mac and PC until a few months ago. Not sure what I messed up, but when it works, it is easier than moving the dongle around.

Thanks. After messing around with it, I think we'll need a network WIBU key dongle in order to have it work with Multiple users.

I had just the WIBU server component loaded on a test machine and the full client loaded on another system. After pointing the WIBU settings on the client system to the server, it sees it, but could not issue a license so the software started in demo mode.

I get the following error message on the server log:
