Chapter 2 - Configuring the License Server
System Requirements
If you are using network licensing, a supported network protocol is required on
the target machine.
Windows NT/2000 Service
The license server installation is done using the loadls utility. This utility may be
run explicitly or as part of an installer program. This program is described in
“loadls - Install the License Server as an NT/2000 Service” on page 81 of “Chap-
ter 5 - Administrator Commands.”
Once loaded, the license server can be configured and started from the Control
Panel | Services group. Automatic or manual license server startup can be
selected.
If automatic startup is selected, the license server will be automatically started
whenever Windows NT/2000 is started. The license server will remain running
until Windows NT/2000 stops or the license server is stopped using the Control
Panel | Services group.
If manual startup is selected, the license server must be started manually by
using the Control Panel | Services group. When manually starting the license
server, you may specify any license server command line options by using the
Startup Parameters field in the NT Services window. This capability is not
available when starting a service automatically. So, the recommended procedure
is to select automatic startup and use the LSERVOPTS environment variable to
configure the license server.
Note For Windows NT/2000, the LSERVOPTS environment variable only takes
effect after you reboot the computer, and only if LSERVOPTS has been set
as a System environment variable, not a user environment variable.
Administrator privileges are required to start and stop the license server service.
In Service | Startup options, use \\ in file paths instead of \. Or you can use /.
