The Intergraph Smart 3D Subscription Service executable automatically installs with the Project Management component in the Smart 3D client installation. To run the Intergraph Smart 3D Subscription Service executable and configure update settings, you must configure the service on an administrator server system (such as an IFC/Drawings-type server). You must have Administrator privileges for the configuration.
The Intergraph Smart 3D Subscription Service process consumes one license per computer to process any number of models. The service releases the license after the last model is removed from processing. For licensing, the service:
-
Consumes only one license even if more than one model is configured for processing on a computer.
-
Does not start processing models if a license is not available.
-
Continually checks for a license at one-minute intervals and starts processing models as soon as a license is available.
