Setting up the floating license server.
-
Download the license server installation kit for your platform from one of the download
URLs included in the registration email message with your floating license key.
-
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:
- 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
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
The license folder must contain a text
file called
license.txt which must contain a single floating license key
corresponding to the set of purchased floating licenses. If you have more than one floating
license key for the same
Oxygen version obtained from
different purchases or you want to split a set of license keys between 2 different servers
please contact us at
support@oxygenxml.com to merge / split your license keys.
