Remotely Obtaining Commuter Licenses
WRCommute (Windows-interface utility) and rcommute (Windows/UNIX command-line utility) are provided to allow the remote user to generate a commuter locking code to send to the local user checking out the commuter authorization from the Sentinel RMS License Manager. They also install the commuter authorization received from the network user.
Here is an overview of how to obtain and install a remote commuter authorization:
1.A remote user runs WRCommute or rcommute to generate a commuter locking code for the remote computer and sends the commuter locking code to the local user (who has access to the Sentinel RMS License Manager).
2.The local user runs WCommute or lcommute (entering the remote user’s commuter locking code) to check out a remote commuter authorization, and sends it to the remote user.
3.The remote user runs WRCommute or rcommute to install the remote commuter authorization.
NOTE If Hard Disk Serial is being used as a local locking criteria for commuter licenses, administrative privileges are required to check-out such licenses using WCommute/lcommute or WRCommute/rcommute utilities.
Notes
>The commuter locking code used to lock a commuter authorization is not the same as the locking code displayed by echoid. You must use WRCommute or rcommute to obtain it.
>A remote commuter authorization cannot be checked back into the License Manager, but will simply expire on the remote computer.
>The duration of a remote checked out license can be extended before its expiration. See Extending Remote Check Out Days.
>Remote clients using applications licensed using RMS v8.1.1 (or earlier) must ensure that the versions of the tools used in this process—WRCommute, rcommute, WCommute, and lcommute—are matched.
