Trusted Storage Components on a License Server

The basic components of a FlexNet Publisher license server that uses licenses held in trusted storage are as illustrated in the following diagram:

•

License server manager—lmadmin (or lmgrd) supplied by your publisher or available from Revenera.

•

Bootstrap license file—Created by your publisher. Required for starting the license server manager when the license server is using trusted storage to store all its licenses.

•

Vendor daemon—Created by the publisher. This must be the publisher vendor daemon that can access trusted storage. Ensure that you always use the correct vendor daemon supplied by the publisher: an earlier version that is only able to use license files will not be able to use licenses held in trusted storage.

•

Trusted storage—Contains licenses in fulfillment records.

•

Server activation utility—A FlexEnabled component that manages the transactions with the publisher server and creates and manages the contents of trusted storage.

The following components not shown on the diagram may be present on the license server:

•

Debug log—Written by the license server manager.
