Issue with setting up Windows Token Server

As I am running WSL 2 I am following the post here to setup a token server on my windows machine. However when I retrieve the license key and try to start the token server I am getting the following error

Licensing daemon requires TOKEN license
Problem with Gurobi license - unable to start token server

I am a academic user, so I am just using a Named-User Academic License, since the manuals don't say otherwise. Is there anything I am doing wrong here? I have tried changing the TYPE=TOKEN manually in gurobi.lic, but that didn't work either. 

Best regards, 

David

  Hi David,

  Your named-user license, unfortunately, does not work with a token server.
  For a WSL2 setup, we recommend the so-called "WLS Academic" license (WLS = Web License Service). You can generate one on your own in our User Portal.

  Best regards,
  Mario

  Hi Mario,

  Thanks a lot for the response. I will try that. But that license type requires network connection at every use, I assume?

  Best regards,

  Hi David,

  Yes, indeed, the WLS academic license requires a permanent internet connection since it requests a license token from our servers every 5 minutes.

  Best regards,
