Manage license path

The License Paths specifies locations where the IDE search for either local or server licenses before a start of the application build. During the license validation, the toolchain is searching for a valid license at all defined locations.

During the first start, the IDE checks the HTC_LICENSES environment variable. If the variable contains valid directory location, the IDE sets it as a default path. Otherwise, it sets the C:\Users\<user-name>\user\HtcLicenses location as a default.

You can define more local and server locations, but you always have to set one directory path as default. When you add new license file manually or request to download evaluation license online, the IDE stores a license file to the default location.

The list of license location can contain these kinds of paths:

Tab. 1. Path Types
Icon	Type	Description
	Local path	The location of the local directory.
	Local default path	The default location of the local directory where the IDE stores new license files.
	Server location	The license server address.

Set a default license path

Select a non-default path ( g2 list lic paths folder 16px ) by setting the checkbox and click . Once you set the path as a default, the path changes its icon ( g2 list lic paths folder default 16px ) and since that point, IDE stores all new licenses at this location.

NOTE: You always have to have at least one local path. You cannot set the server location as a default path.

Remove the license path

Select the path you want to remove by setting the checkbox. Then click to . The removed path disappears from the list of active locations.

You cannot remove the default path. To remove the path selected as a default, you have first to set another location as a default and then delete given path location.
