Setting server connection options without the Product Access Console

To modify the server list or enable network broadcast when the Product Access Console is not installed, you edit the registry. For example, the Product Access Console is not installed on a server operating system if the Remote Desktop or Terminal Services role is enabled.

Before you begin

Back up the registry before you modify it. Incorrect modification of the registry can make a computer unusable.

Procedure

  1. To modify the server list, set the Server Order value of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\i2\Licensing\ key to a comma-separated list of server names or IP addresses. The list must contain no spaces.
  2. To enable network broadcast, set the Broadcasts Enabled value of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\i2\Licensing\ key to 1. To disable, set the value to 0.
    Note: The broadcast timeout and network timeout is 1 second.
