Configuration

Congressify requires minimal configuration. To use the application you need a license for a specific amount of users, which you have to activate on the computer where you install Congressify. Besides the license, you can also change the application port and the Default language of the application.

Manage licenses

Before you can start to use Congressify you need to validate your license. For this you need the MAC address, which is available on the Configuration page. The validation process is described in detail in "Manage Congressify licenses" on page 1.

Check number of licensed users

Go to Configuration, under Validation of license you can see Number of licensed users. This is the amount of users that can login to Congressify simultaneously.

Change application port

In cases where the application port is blocked, there is an option to change the port used by Congressify. To change the application port go to Configuration and change the number under Application Port. Click Save to confirm the changes.
