Chapter 1 License server settings
Manage the license Manage the license The licenses are based on a MAC address of the computer where the Floating License Server (FLS) is installed. A MAC address is the unique identifier of a network adapter. A computer may have multiple network adapters, both physical and virtual (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, VPN, VMplayer, …). Add or update the license file The FLS can contain multiple license files, for example, one license file for PRISMAprepare and one license file for PRISMAdirect.
Configure the license server Configure the license server The FLS manages the licenses. The licensed application (PRISMAprepare and/or PRISMAdirect) must connect to the FLS. Therefore, you have to specify: 1. The port of the FLS. You have to specify the license server port in both the licensed application and the [License Server Administration]. 2. The name of the FLS. The server name can be a network name or an IP address. You have to specify the server name in the licensed application.
Configure the license server 2. Select [Licenses] and double-click [Licenses] in the right-hand pane. 3. Click [Select license server]. 4. The "Server port number" must be equal to the "License server port number" in the [License Server Administration]. To check the license server port for the FLS in PRISMAdirect, do: 1. Open the [Configuration] workspace. 2. Click [System] and select [License]. 3. The "Port" number must be equal to the "License server port number" in the [License Server Administration].
Configure the license server If a port cannot be opened, an error appears in the log file lmgrdFile.log. Location of the log file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Oce\Floating License Server\lmgrdFile.log 2. Check that the licensed application can connect to the FLS. For example: • The firewall can block access to the fixed port. You have to configure the firewall. • Other applications use all ports in the range [27000 - 27009]. You have to free one port in the range [27000 - 27009].
Configure the license server Ping the FQDN to check if it is already resolved by the DNS server. Do not use: a short DNS name, for example, myserver. When using a short DNS name, the licensed application must try all known domain names to find or fail to find the FLS. PRISMAdirect: check the IP address or name of the FLS The FLS name can be a network name or an IP address. To check the name of the FLS, do: 1. Open the [Configuration] workspace. 2. Click [System] and select [License].
Configure the license server Use the FQDN if the FLS does not have a fixed IP address. For example, the DHCP server assigns a dynamic IP address to the FLS. • Troubleshooting If the licensed application using an FQDN cannot connect to the FLS: The DNS server must know the FLS else the FLS cannot receive the dynamically generated IP address from the DHCP server. This DNS server must also be known by the licensed application. Ping the FQDN to check if it is already resolved by the DNS server.
