To run a native COBOL application from a network server

You need to configure the licensing for Enterprise Server when running native COBOL applications from a network server.

Server Side

  1. Install Enterprise Server on the server.
  2. Install the license.
  3. Ensure a run-time launch application file, configured with the CESDYNAMIC option, is deployed in the same directory as the application.
    Note: The CES configuration file must be stored in a shared network location; therefore, we recommend that you store it in the bin or bin64 sub-directory of the Enterprise Server installation directory, as this must also be shared.
  4. Copy msvcr100.dll from the C:\Windows\System32 folder into the bin or bin64 sub-directory in the Enterprise Server installation directory.
  5. Click Start > All Programs > Micro Focus product-name > License Management System.
  6. Click Options > Advanced Configuration.
  7. Click Change on the row for License server field, specify the IP address or the name of the server, and click Save.
  8. Close both the Advanced Configuration and the Micro Focus Licensing System Administration dialog boxes.
  9. From the bin or bin64 sub-directory of the Enterprise Server installation directory, create a network share with read permission for everyone.

Client Side

Run the application.
