After installation, verify that the services are running on each computer where Service
Framework services were installed.
Installing the License Service
The Avid License service manages the site licenses for Command Workstations as well as
CG and video devices that interface with the Command system.
This service must be installed on the computer running the Command Server software, but is
not necessary on any other computer; however, two instances of this service can be installed
for redundancy. Some configuration is required after installation.
To install the License service:
1. Insert the Command installation CD (or access the install program from the network).
The autorun installation program starts and displays the following screen.
Minor Services Description
Email Alerter This service sends a notification email if one of the services in the
workgroup has a warning or critical status. It is seldom installed on the
Command Server.
SNMP Gateway This service provides an interface to send health monitoring information to
industry standard SNMP manager applications. It is seldom installed on
the Command Server.
Time Synchronization This service should only be installed if you do not already use something
to synchronize your PC clocks on the network. If you use NTP or some
other method for time synchronization, do not install this service.
c
Serious problems can occur if more than one service for time
synchronization is installed.
Multicast Repeater This service is required only when a workgroup must span subnets or
domains. It is seldom installed on the Command Server.
