Enrolling Licenses

Once your license server has been configured and activated, you can enroll your licenses.

  1. Select Start > All Programs > -DS License Server > License Server Administration to launch the License Administration Tool if it is not already launched:



  2. Connect to the server.

    To connect to the server:

    • Select Servers > Connect and select the server name from the list.
    • Or, select Servers > Connect all command.
    • Or, point to the icon, right click and clickConnect command.
    • Or, double-click on the icon.

    The icon confirms that your server is operational.

  3. Enroll your licenses as follows:
    1. Click License > Enroll command.

      The Open dialog box is displayed.

    2. Go to the directory containing your licenses and select the appropriate licenses, then click the Open button.

    Note that you may receive either individual license keys (which are in files with the obsolete .LIC extension), or license keys grouped in a single file (which has the .LICZ extension). With a .LICZ group of license keys, you enroll all the licenses at the same time.

    A .LICZ file will be named something like this (with the .LICZ suffix):

    DLD-430814856494DBA7_7KLXM-UVSBG-8VFDL-GPMGS-V1ED3_0001_1.LICZ

    The License Enrollment dialog box opens, informing you that license enrollment has been started, followed by confirmation that your licenses have been successfully enrolled on your server:

LP5-SES-DSY : 13 licenses received

  4. Click OK to return to the License Administration Tool.

    The icon confirms that your server has been activated:

    If you point to the icon, a tooltip like this will be displayed:

    server LP5-SES-DSY (10.237.169.69) connected

    confirming that your license server is up and running.

    Note: Once you have configured and activated your server as a standalone server, you can no longer change your mind and configure it as part of a failover cluster. That is why the corresponding options are grayed out.
