Unzip the install kit in a new folder.
The Windows installer installs the license server as a Windows service. It provides the following
optional features that are not available in the other license server installers:
- Set the Windows Service name;
- Start the Windows service automatically at Windows startup;
- Create shortcuts on the Start menu for starting and stopping the Windows service
manually.
If you use the zip archive on Windows you have to run the scripts provided in the
archive for installing, starting, stopping and uninstalling the server as a Windows
service.
The zip archive can be used for running the license server on any platform where a Java
virtual machine can run (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux / Unix, etc).
Start the server using the startup script.
The startup script is called licenseServer.bat for Windows and
licenseServer.sh for Mac OS X and Unix / Linux. It has 2
parameters:
- licenseDir - the path of the directory where the license files will
be placed. Default value: license.
- port - the port number used to communicate with
Oxygen XML Developer
instances.
Default value: 12346.
The following is an example command line for starting the license server on Unix/Linux
and Mac OS X:
sh licenseServer.sh myLicenseDir 54321
The following is an example command line for starting the license server on
Windows:
licenseServer.bat myLicenseDir 54321
