ARCHIVED: At IU, how do I configure ERDAS IMAGINE 2010 or 9.3 to use the central license service?

If you are connecting from off campus, connect to the Indiana University VPN before following these instructions; see About the IU VPN.

ERDAS IMAGINE 2010

1. From the Start menu, select Programs, then ERDAS 2010, then ERDAS-Net Licensing 2010, and then License Administration.
2. In the ERDAS-Net License Admin Tool, from the Server menu, select Add Remote Server.
3. In the License Server Information window, next to "License Server", enter erdas1.uits.indiana.edu and specify port number 27001. Click OK. This is the primary license service that restarts every Monday at 4am.
4. To add the backup license service, from the Server menu, select Add Remote Server.
5. In the License Server Information window, next to "License Server", enter erdas2.uits.indiana.edu and specify port number 27001. Click OK. This service restarts every day at 8am.
6. If you see the message "Error retrieving data", confirm that your network connection (and VPN connection, if you are connecting from off campus) is working.
7. To confirm the server connection, click the License Sources View folder, select a service, and then select a feature such as Imagine Advantage. The number of licenses available will be 100 or less, depending on the number of people connected to the service. If you do not see anything listed under "Feature Properties", you have not successfully connected to the license service.
