Multiple BRIDGE Installations
| Multiexcerpt |
|---|
|
Multiple BRIDGE installations on a single system are supported, if the system hosts multiple static IP addresses. For each additional IP address, one BRIDGE can be installed. You can work with such node instances, as you would do with any other single installation. |
Licensing
| Multiexcerpt |
|---|
|
You always need to install a BRIDGE license key. Otherwise, xUML services cannot be started.
BRIDGE license keys are machine-bound. The BRIDGE checks the IP address or the machine name as defined in the license key. xUML services can only be run on the defined server. License keys can be obtained through your Scheer E2E Sales Manager and online via our support portal. |
