Does any of you configure FactoryTalk activation Manager to share license through a VPN connection?
We have a spare laptop that is used as a server to share a floating license locally for two of us. When we have a project that uses studio 5000 or any Rockwell product, the tech borrows the license for the time of the service call connecting locally to the network. This works fine. But sometimes, it is not possible to connect locally to the network to borrow or return the license for someone else to use it.
Is there possible to connect to that server laptop from another network through a VPN connection for example to share the license?
I try to setup an OpenVPN on my router. I can ping all the laptops on the local and public networks, but I don't see the laptop in the network selection in factory talk activation manager.
