Activating Your Departmental or Campus-Wide Site License (case 492)
Activating Your Departmental or Campus-Wide Site License (case 492)
Normally, MediaLab and DirectRT are activated by emailing us a code which appears on the screen when the software is run for the first time. We send you back a permanent license number which will activate the software permanently. However, large departments and users with multiple computer labs have asked for a simpler method of authentication. To that end, we've enabled licensing by IP address.
For more detail, see: www.empirisoft.com/medialab/help/setup.htm
For this to work, your computers need to have static IP addresses or at least IP addresses within a defined range such as:
123.123.123.*
We can accommodate multiple patterns such as
123.123.123.*
123.123.124.*
123.123.125.*
We do not usually give unlimited access to an IP pattern such as 123.123.*.* unless it is a campus-wide site license as that could potentially authorize 65,000 computers across multiple departments.
Finally, the IP address range needs to be public. Internal addresses assigned by a router, for example, such as 192.168.1.* and 10.1.1.* can not be used as that would allow users at other locations to have free access.
When you place your order and request IP authentication, we update a file call license2006ip.dll for you - usually within a few hours or maybe a business day. The most recent copy is kept attached below in a .zip file.
All you do is install MediaLab and/or DirectRT as usual and then replace the existing license file with this one. It will be located in the main folder of both programs (e.g., C:\MediaLab\license2008.dll). If your directory contains a folder titled 'Components' paste the license files within this location, rather than the top directory (e.g,., C:\MediaLab\Components\license2010.dll).
Our 2008 and 2010 builds of the license files contain two separate .DLL's - both must be installed to the main folder.
To indicate that your machine is using the IP licensing, simply enter '99999' (five nines) as your activation code. As long as the computer's IP address falls within the range you specified, the software will run without further intervention.
As new IP ranges are received from customers, we'll update this list to reflect the changes.

[update from moderator, june 9, 2008] recently we have had a report of an error message given when trying to use the IP licensing dll. The text of the error was
Automation error - ClassFactory cannot supply requested class
This problem was solved by typing the following from the Run command on the Windows Start menu:
regsvr32 c:\directrt\license2008ip.dll

Is it possible to also now include v2012ip as well please.
Zipped and attached are the site-license files license2006ip.dll, license2008ip.dll, and license2010ip.dll. See instructions above for installing it.
Current version of the v2006 file is 2006.1.94
---------------------
Current version of the v2008 file is 2008.1.141
---------------------
Current version of the v2010 file is 2010.1.30
Current version for v2010.3 MediaLab (you'll know if you have it) is 2010.3.14.
If you have any questions please contact sales@emp...com

The downloadable dll's were last used with version 2010. With both DirectRT and MediaLab v2012, we completely have done away with the need for the IP dll's. We just thought it was a pain for people to have to download and install them.
So now we hard code the IPs or IP patterns directly into the programs so that you don't have to do a thing except to enter 99999 as the authorization code. This means you will just need to let us know what IP patterns are used with your site license. We include them directly in the programs and post the updated versions and let you know when they are available. If you send an email to sales@ John can tell you if your IPs are already in the currently posted version. Or you could just try typing 99999 and find out immediately!
