How to update my FLACS license


Article summary

When a license update or renewal is requested, you will receive it in the form of a V2C file from Gexcon. You can apply the update in one of three ways:

  • Using the Admin Control Center web interface

  • Using the FLACS Configuration Wizard

  • Using the FLACS command line license configuration tool

Using the Admin Control Center web interface

  1. Open http://localhost:1947 (or http://<IP-address>:1947 if the license key is on a different computer).

  2. Go to the Update/Attach page. 

  3. Select the V2C file received from Gexcon, and apply it

Using the FLACS Configuration Wizard 

  1. Start the Configuration Wizard (change paths if FLACS is installed in a different location).

    1. For Linux:

      > /usr/local/Gexcon/FLACS-CFD_24.1/bin/run configureWizard 

    2. For Windows:

    3. C:\Program Files\Gexcon\FLACS-CFD_24.1\bin\configureWizard.exe

  2. Click Apply license update.

  3. Load the update file.

Using the FLACS command line license configuration tool

Note: this can only be done on the computer the license key is installed on.

Using the FLACS command line license configuration tool

Run the command line tool with the update option (change paths if FLACS is installed in a different location):

For Linux:

> /usr/local/Gexcon/FLACS-CFD_24.1/bin/licenseconfig -u

For Windows:

> C:\Program Files\Gexcon\FLACS-CFD_24.1\bin\licenseconfig.exe -u
