How to share products on 2 machines running QLM?

If you have multiple licenses of QLM, you can share the definition of your products on all the machines running QLM.

QLM Express

• Start QLM.
• Click on Options then click on the General tab. In QLM 5, you can access the Options by clicking on the QLM icon on the top left corner.
• Locate the field that defines the path to the products.xml file.
• Create a Windows Share on your network and copy the products.xml file to this share.
• Update the path under Options / General to point to the share.
• On each system that needs to share the product defintion, update the path under Options / General to point to the share.

If the 2 machines are not on the same network, you can simply copy the products.xml file from one machine to the other to generate compatible keys.
