Archicad 17 Server

[Anonymous]

Hi guys, my company recently upgraded to Archicad 17 and I've taken upon the role to startup the server and get this thing rolling out asap!

So I've done all the instructions as per: http://www.archicadwiki.com/WibuKey/Server?action=show&redirect=WIBU+key+server

However, even after completing all the steps, the server is still not working, and after some more research I seems that I should be able to run a network with the codemeter webadmin ( http://archicadwiki.com/CodeMeter/Server ), but I've come across another problem, the "Run Network Server" checkbox is not showing up, so I'm really stumped at the moment.

Anybody got a super simple guide to setting up a AC17 server?

Thanks in advance!

Are you trying to install WIBUkey licenses or Codemeter licenses?
They are different and have nothing to do with each other.

Barry.

Could you explain the difference to me please?

And if that's the case, then I suppose Wibukey license is the one I need to get going. here's another image that might help to explain my situation, the dongle is connected and works when I open up 17 on my own computer, but on the Server app, it does not show up as connected, and I have no idea how other computers will be able to connect through to mine

It looks to me like you have a Codemeter key - silver metalic USB key.
The WIBU key is green plastic.

I am assuming you have a single key with multiple licenses?
A key with only one license can't be shared on a network.

I have never set up a Codemeter network server but here is a link to the Wiki page ... http://archicadwiki.com/CodeMeter/Server

I think that will be the limit of my help so someone else will have to take over if you still have problems.
