Installing the DS License Server on Linux

Log on as root.
Change directory to the media mount point.
Change directory to the appropriate sub-directory for your Linux platform.
Check that the DISPLAY variable is exported appropriately before continuing (or perform the installation using the -noUI option).

Run the command:

./startInstLicServ

The command can be run with the following options:


Option	Description
-p	Set the installation path. The default value is: /usr/DassaultSystemes/DSLicenseServer
-n	Set the administration port number. The default value is: 4084
-licensingPort	Set the licensing port at installation time (avoids having to set it later).
-enroll filename	Enroll a `.LICZ` license file at installation time (avoids having to enroll it later). If enrollment fails, the installation succeeds. Only a warning is added in the license server logs. This can happen, for example, if the license file does not exist.
-x	Prevent system file update managing automatic startup when rebooting your machine
-onlyAdminTool	Installs only the License Administration Tool (without the license server)
-f	Installing from scratch means that you are installing the DS License Server and also deleting all previous licenses in the license repository. This may be necessary if your licenses have been corrupted.
-noUI	Do not launch the License Administration Tool GUI. Useful when no display is available.
-noStart	Do not start the license server after having installed it.
-h	Display help

The installation starts and the system outputs the following:

/tmp/DSLS/LINUX64

Chosen port 4084

Admin Console start: /usr/DassaultSystemes/DSLicenseServer/linux_a64/code/bin/DSLicSrv -adminUI

The License Administration Tool dialog box is displayed. The License Administration Tool has the same graphic user interface and works the same way as on Windows.

Note: If you intend to install the DS License Server on a Linux machine which does not use a display, to avoid automatically displaying the License Administration Tool, perform the installation by running the following command:

startInstLicServ -noUI

To access administration functions, launch the License Administration Tool in command line mode as follows:

/usr/DassaultSystemes/DSLicenseServer/linux_a64/code/bin/DSLicSrv -admin

You must configure the firewall on the machine hosting the license server to enable license clients to access the license server, using the port numbers specified in Port Management.

When installing the DS License Server on SuSE, some messages related to insserv may be displayed. They can be safely ignored.
