Configure the DS-License Server
This configuration is required for all DS-System installations.
- A DS-System receives its capacity license allocation and Tools from the DS-License Server, which you (the Service Provider) can manage.
- A DS-System must validate its license from the DS-License Server. Validation is constant, meaning the DS-System must be able to connect to the DS-License server at all times, otherwise its ability to serve DS-Clients may be interrupted.
- For more information about the License Server, refer to the DS-License Server Manual.
To configure the DS-License Server:
1. Setup menu > License Server. The DS-License Server screen appears.
- F1 Help: See "DS-License Server".
2. Configure the license server:
- Enter the IP address or the DNS name of the DS-License Server.
- Do not change the TCP communication port unless you have a specific requirement.
- OPTIONAL: Configure an Emergency License Server.
3. Click "Update" to save the settings.
4. The DS-System will obtain its license by regularly validating with the DS-License Server.
- If you need more capacity on this DS-System (or different tools), you can increase them from the DS-License Server.
- IMPORTANT: The DS-System must always be able to connect to the DS-License Server. You can also configure an alternate Emergency License Server in order to avoid single-point-failures.
