Licenses

Configure Meridian Explorer to claim licenses using only the Windows account name, without the domain. This prevents duplicate license consumption when users have different Enterprise Server usernames and Windows account names.

C:\ProgramData\BlueCieloECM\Hyperion\

ExplorerLicensingConfig.dat
