Setting up Zemax to use the license server
Download the OpticsStudio installer here: https://www.cvs.rochester.edu/cvspriv/downloads/Zemax/ZOS23.2.1_2023-07-24.exe
License server address: 128.151.170.14
1. Run the Zemax License Manager software...if installing OpticsStudio for the first time this will launch automatically after installation completes, otherwise, click on "Start -> Zemax OpticsStudio -> Zemax License Manager"
2. In the License Manager click on the "Troubleshoot" button on the left, then click on the "Launch Sentinel Admin Control Center" link. This will open a window in your web browser.
3. In the web browser click on the "Configuration" button on the left, then click on the "Access to Remote License Managers" tab towards the top. In the "Remote License Search Parameters" field enter the address "128.151.170.14", then click the "Submit" button.
4. Now click on the "Sentinel Keys" button on the left and see if the Zemax license appears. If it does, close the browser window and the Zemax License Manager program.
5. Run OpticsStudio and login with your Zemax credentials. In theory your copy of OpticsStudio will pull down the license from the server for as long as you have the program open AND you're connected to the network. As soon as you quit the program OR disconnect from the network, the license will be reclaimed by the server.
