Choosing a License Server

TotalView® Installation Guide : Chapter 2 Installing or Changing a Regular License : Planning for a Regular License : Choosing a License Server

You will need to install the FlexNet license server the first time you install a regular license. In most cases, the license manager and TotalView reside on the same system. However, you can install them on different systems. The TotalView tar file includes license server software for the platform TotalView runs on. See “Installing FlexNet Standalone” if your license server's platform differs from that of TotalView.

The license manager should reside on a machine that is reliable, always running, and a permanent part of your local network. And, most importantly, it is accessible. For example, do not place it on the other side of your firewall.

NOTE >> If you already have a FlexNet license manager in your network, you should not include your TotalView license with the other licenses managed by that license manager. If you must combine license managers, consult the FlexNet documentation.

NOTE >> The TCP/IP port number used for the Rogue Wave license manager daemon must be unique and not used elsewhere. You can find port numbers that other FlexNet license managers use in their license files.
