Support Information for the 3DDI TurboFloat License Server Information regarding the TurboFloat Server can be gathered from the log file (tfs-log.txt) that the TurboFloat Server maintains, and the log file (3DDI.txt) that the 3DDI plugin maintains.

The TurboFloat Server logs all changes/requests that it receives and the 3DDI plugin logs all responses it gets from the server.

These log files can be found at the following locations:

• Server - C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Optitex 3DDI TurboFloat Server\tfs-log.txt • Client (Plugin) - C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\3DDI\3DDI.txt

Installation Instructions for TurboFloat License Server and 3DDI Plugin Client The following sections describe how to install a TurboFloat license and 3DDI plugin on server and client machines.

The server should be installed in a system on a local network. This system will act as the server for clients that want to access the TurboFloat License Server. The server can be installed on Virtual Machines. A server installed on Windows should be accessible from Windows and Mac clients, meaning the same server will serve both clients. The licensing mechanism works as a client-server, so it must be run on the same network.
