Software: SERVER LOCATOR Version 8.3

NOTE: This article contains information that has been supersceded in part by a more recent article. After reading this article, please see this article about changes in the Server Locator and Host Names

In versions greater than 8.2.2108 the Server Locator functionality is built into the RBS Server. There is no need to run the old "rbslocator.exe" program. If it is in your startup group, delete it.

The Server Locator service works only when your Maintenance Subscription is in force. To renew your Maintenance Subscription take this link.

To use the Server Locator, use your Host Name instead of your IP address in the RBS Utility. The host name is like a domain name only longer. It is made of your RBS Server's serial number plus the domain name of RBS's DNS Servers, like this:

Replace "7654321012" with your serial number. Note: "7654321012" is not a valid serial number.
