The General tab of the ibaHD Manager contains information about the service, license information and the existing HD stores.

Service

Status

Display if the service is running or not. You can use the buttons <Start>, <Restart> and <Stop> to start or stop the service.

Port

The port no. for communication with iba programs is set automatically, but can be modified manually here.

Auto-start when Windows starts

This option has to be activated if the service is to start automatically with every system start.

License

In the License information area you'll find important information about your current software license.

License container

The license container number is important for all service queries and upgrades. Please provide the license container number to our support team. It is linked to your license container, i.e. either MARX dongle, WIBU dongle or WIBU soft license and stored in our database.

Customer name

In this field, you will find the name of the customer for which this license has been approved. For projects, which were initially completed via system integrators, registration of the end user should have been requested from iba either from the outset or, at the latest, after the warranty period has expired. This makes it easier to assign the license in the case of later extensions or support cases.

License time limit

This field shows the validity time of the licenses. Depending on the container type there is either a remaining validity time given in days or hours or there is an expiration date.

Container type

This field indicates whether a MARX dongle, a WIBU dongle (WIBU CmStick) or a WIBU soft license (WIBU CmActLicense) is used.

Container host

This field shows the name of the computer where the license container is attached, which supplies the licenses obtained by the application.

Required EUP date and EUP date

The EUP date specifies the date until which the period of free software updates is valid. After the update period has expired you still can continue running the program as usual but only with the features which were already available until then.

Connected/licensed HD clients and HD stores

These fields show how many ibaHD clients and HD stores are currently licensed and how many of them have already been activated.

For further information on licensing, see chapter Upgrade policy and Update policy.

HD stores

In the HD stores range, HD stores are indicated that are already created.

Double-clicking on a row in the table or mouse clicking on the info icon at the end of the row opens a window with detailed information about the HD store.

For additional information, see HD store details.
