Setting License Server Quiet Startup
The license server normally displays a message upon program startup. This dis-
play can be suppressed if desired.
Recommended setting: By default, the startup message is enabled. We recom-
mend you leave the message enabled.
Starting the License Server
License server installation and startup vary depending upon the operating system
on the license server computer. The following instructions describe common
server installation and start-up procedures. These instructions refer to license
server command line options and environment variables. A detailed description
of the command line options is provided in “lserv, lserv9x, lservnt - Start the
License Server” on page 82 of “Chapter 5 - Administrator Commands.”The
environment variables are described in “Appendix A - Using Environment Vari-
ables to Configure a License Server” on page 123.
User Privileges
Note that you must have the correct user privileges to configure or shut down the
license server once it has been started.
Windows 95/98 User Privileges
The same user who starts the license server may also configure the license server
(e.g., turn token borrowing on and off, change token distribution, turn logging on
and off, and add or delete a redundant license server) and stop the license server.
Before allowing these actions, SentinelLM not only checks that the user name is
the same, but also makes sure that the user is in the same network domain as the
license server.
