Configuration Tool

License Tab

• Use a License Server - If checked, the license server is enabled for use in licensing KioWare for Android.  The License Server Settings are also enabled (see License Server Settings below).
  
  Notes:
  1. KioWare for Android can automatically enable or disable use of the license server on install or upgrade by including this setting in a special provisioning XML file (see Installation and Requirements, Installation Instructions, Provisioning).  This setting is also included on the Create Provisioning File screen (see General Tab, Create Provisioning File, Licensing, Use a License Server), which is used to auto-generate a new provisioning file for ease in setting up new devices to run with KioWare for Android.
  2. To enable this setting, your device permissions must be set to allow use of alarms and reminders with KioWare for Android (see table below).
  3. Permission popups will never show in the Main App.  Missing permissions are logged after the settings are loaded (when required by the remote settings file).
  
  

  • If alarms and reminders permission is...	...Then KioWare will do this when you attempt to enable use of a license server
    Enabled in device settings before attempting to enable use of a license server	Not show a permission popup, make all license server settings available, and enable use of a license server.
    Disabled in device settings before attempting to enable use of a license server (or before loading a remote settings file that enables use of a license server)	Show a popup window asking for this permission to be allowed. Allowing permission will make all license server settings available and enable use of a license server. Declining permission (or canceling the popup/not granting permission and returning to Config Tool) will disable all license server settings and show a popup listing all missing permissions that must be allowed for KioWare to function. Go to your device settings and enable them.

• Company Name - License company name.  Note: When the company name does not match the name that was used when you purchased KioWare for Android, the “[Status]” setting below will show a warning that you are not licensed (see Quick Start Guide, Warnings, Not Licensed).

The following options are only available when the “Use a License Server” option is disabled (as shown in top image above) and when using KioWare for Android from the KioWare website (see Using KioWare for Android from Google Play Store above for details on how to show these settings).

• License Code - License key.  Note: When an incorrect license code is entered, the “[Status]” setting below will show a warning that you are not licensed (see Quick Start Guide, Warnings, Not Licensed).
• Status (unlabeled) - Displays whether or not KioWare for Android is currently licensed.  This automatically refreshes when any license setting is changed.  It also displays your current “System Code”, which you will need if manually licensing, and your “Device Name”.  Note: When the above “KioWare Model”, “Company Name”, or “License Code” is not correct, this setting will show a warning that you are not licensed and tell you which setting is invalid (see Quick Start Guide, Warnings, Not Licensed).

• Test License Server Connection - When a valid “License Server URL” and “License Server Passcode” (if required) are entered, this option allows the connection between the license server and the tablet to be tested.
