Oxygen XML Torrent: A Guide to Using Floating Licenses in Your Build Process

As a long-time user of Oxygen XML Editor, I've found it to be an invaluable tool for managing my XML files. However, with multiple users accessing the same machine, licensing becomes a critical concern. In this article, we'll explore the ins and outs of using floating licenses for your build process in Oxygen.

Understanding User-Based Licensing

It's essential to understand that Oxygen licenses are user-based, not machine-based. This means that each user who will be accessing Oxygen on the same machine needs their own license or a floating license that allows multiple users to access the software simultaneously.

Floating Licenses: A Practical Solution

If you're looking for a cost-effective solution, consider purchasing an inexpensive user-based license (Oxygen XML Developer Professional) for your build process and one or more floating licenses for your users. This setup works well if your build process doesn't overlap with user access times.

However, be cautious when sharing floating licenses between the build process and a pool of users. You may encounter issues where the build process fails to acquire a license due to all floating licenses being in use.

Configuring Floating Licenses

To set up floating licenses, you'll need to create a 'license.xml' file with the configuration for your floating license server instead of using the 'licensekey.txt' file. This file should be placed in the Oxygen installation directory and have read access (rw-r-r-).

Single Floating License: How It Works

If you plan to start with a single floating license, it's essential to understand how it will work in your build process. The floating license will only be used for the duration of the build process, which typically lasts just a few seconds.

However, if you're deploying Oxygen as root but running it as a different user, you may need to double-check this configuration to ensure it works correctly.

In conclusion, using floating licenses in your build process with Oxygen XML Editor is a practical and cost-effective solution. By understanding the ins and outs of user-based licensing and configuring your floating licenses correctly, you can ensure a smooth workflow for your team.

Remember to place your license key in a file named 'licensekey.txt' in the same directory as your script and start oXygen with a valid license key for registration. With these steps, you'll be ready to take advantage of Oxygen's powerful command-line generation capabilities in your automated build process.
