Hello AlishaM ,

The ZPX (Zap-fix) Concurrent Licenses is used for 2 reasons:

1. More then 1 machine uses Zap-fix, and all are in the same network environment (So instead of purchasing 2 and more Seat licenses it is best to purchase a single Concurrent License).

2. If you want to install ZPX on a virtual machine.

Its installation is as followed:

1. To begin, make sure your ZAP License Server is running and have a valid concurrent license is added.

2. Launch ZAP-fiX and click the "Concurrent" button.

3. Enter the Hostname of the ZAP License Server and the port number then click Submit (To find the hostname information of the server, go to the machine where the ZAP License Server is running and copy it from the Log view).
A window will indicate the progress of the license retrieval.

4. Once ZAP-fiX connects and retrieves license from the server you can go to the Options to see license information.

5. You can also view the connections and the license usage on the ZAP License Server:
In the log window we can see a new client connection had been initiated and license #0 reserved.
We can also see this information in the Clients module.
Under the Licenses module we can see number of clients using the license.

6. If there is more than one license, we can see total number of used licenses in the Server module:
The license is considered in use only per Client’s locking code, which means if another product, such as a ZAP-fiX Viewer is opened on the same desktop as the ZAP-fiX, the license server will not consider it as another license, but will associate it to the same connected client.

Please contact Zap for more help.

Thanks,
Sasha
