File overview (after licence activation)

Multi user licence: Connecting the client to the licence folder

For network installations (TFN) we recommend to install Tilos on every client computer. At the first

startup of any client installation the Tilos Welcome dialog is displayed again. Choose the option

Connect to existing licence path and browse the licence folder. After clicking OK this installation is

connected to the selected licence folder.

For Terminalserver installations just install and licence Tilos one time. Every user has to start the

Tilos7.exe in the Program folder. The correspondant licence folder is used.

in the Licence folder. To add another named user just add a new line containing the windows user

file in the licence folder and change the parameter TILOSUserPath= to the new folder path
