  1. Licensing Settings for CM4D
  2. Heartbeat Configuration

The CM4D applications managed by the CM4D Configuration in ATS Configuration Manager are licensed using the ATS Licensing Server plugin. The CM4D Configuration plugin contains settings pertaining to how the CM4D applications connect to the ATS Licensing Server when obtaining licenses.

For details on configuration or managing licenses, refer to the full ATS Licensing Server documentation.

Licensing Settings for CM4D

Licensing options for CM4D applications are located in the CM4D Settings tab.

The Licensing tab contains settings relating to how CM4D applications interact with the licensing server. This section does not manage the licenses themselves; licenses are managed via the Licensing plugin in ATS Configuration Manager.

Heartbeat Configuration

The process for acquiring a license is triggered when a user logs into the CM4D Upload Portal. As long as an available license is present, the user can operate the CM4D Upload Portal.

The ATS Configuration Manager maintains a heartbeat, which is a periodic check that determines if a license obtained by a user is still in use. The ATS Licensing Server will not assign the license to another user until the current user is confirmed by the heartbeat to be disconnected.

Heartbeat Rate

The frequency at which the CM4D application interacts with the licensing server to check the current license status. The value represents milliseconds. A value is required in this field; defaults to 60000ms (1 minute).
