ERAC icon in the notification area.
NOTE:
If the ERA Console on the administrator’s PC is going to be connected at all times to an ERA Server, we recommend that
you enable the

option when minimized and leave the Console minimized when inactive. If a problem occurs,
the icon in the notification area will turn red – which is a signal for the administrator to intervene. We also recommend adjusting
the option
Use highlighted systray icon when problematic clients found

change of the ERAC icon.

The ERA Server can be easily configured directly from ERA Console. From the Console menu, click
Tools > Server
Options...
4.6.1
General tab
The
General
tab stores general information about ERAS, license key information and statistical information about
the operation of ERAS.
Click
Renew License...
to remotely install a license key to ERAS and avoid potential expiration of the license.
License keys are described in detail in section 7.1.2, “Installation of ERA Server.”
4.6.2
Security tab
ESET security solutions in version 3.x (ESET Smart Security, etc.) offer password protection for communication
between the client and ERAS (communication at the TCP protocol, port 2222), as this communication allows for
decrypted communication.
The older versions (2.x) do not have this functionality. To provide backward compatibility for older versions, the
Enable unauthenticated access for Clients
mode must be activated.
The
Security
tab contains options to adjust simultaneous usage of the program generation 2.x and 3.x.
