Automatic License Installation
In most cases, Reflow can install and manage the license for your Host ID automatically. The service will reach out to the NiagaraMods licensing system on station startup and approximately every 24 hours thereafter.
Automatic installation and management requires that the station has internet access and is able to connect to the api.niagaramodules.com server over HTTP/HTTPS.
