Preparing to Use the License Server Manager
The FlexNet Embedded license server might include one or both of the following administration tools to help you maintain the server and manage license distribution in your enterprise:
|
•
|
FlexNet License Server Administrator command-line tool |
|
•
|
FlexNet License Server Manager (which uses a UI) |
If you intend to use the FlexNet License Server Manager, you must have an Apache Tomcat server installed. Before launching the License Server Manager for the first time, you are required to perform these additional steps to integrate the license server with Tomcat.
To integrate the license server with Tomcat
|
1.
|
Install the Tomcat server if one does not already exist on your system. Tomcat installers are available from the Apache Tomcat website at http://tomcat.apache.org/. |
Note:On Windows systems, to install Tomcat as a Windows service, follow the instructions provided on the tomcat.apache.org link. For detailed information and other approaches, see the Tomcat documentation.
|
2.
|
Locate the flsm.war file in your license server installation. |
|
3.
|
Copy flsm.war to the webapps directory in the Tomcat installation. |
|
4.
|
If necessary, change the port on which the License Server Manager tool listens for browser requests. (By default, the License Server Manager listens on port 8080.) Use these steps: |
|
a.
|
Locate the server.xml file in the conf directory of the Tomcat installation. |
|
b.
|
Within server.xml, locate the appropriate connector element and modify its port attribute value to the desired port number. |
