Server Side

View Client side via Zerotier VPN

  • Hi  ,

    It is a known issue and security related. In your case, the AEL server and client are running in different "domains". The user you used to launch and configure the license on the client side cannot be authenticated by the AEL server. So, you should launch Configurator as Different User (Shift+Right Click) and use the credential that must be in the admin group on the server side. Basically, you work around this issue with the Windows Workgroup security. 

    Hope this would help

  • You are right Jacky , thank you.

    Opened Configurator as Different User, defined the same user on both side and configure again, works.

    The system Management Server need to be configured too, then i can get license from my server to view client.
