On UNIX

User Privileges

You must have logged into the root on UNIX.

The same user who starts the License Manager may also configure the license server. Only the same user who started the License Manager can stop the License Manager.

However, only a user with the user name “root” can use lsrvdown to shut down the License Manager.

Before allowing these actions, RMS not only checks that the user name is the same, but also makes sure that the user is in the same network domain as the License Manager.

Starting the License Manager

The License Manager, lserv, is placed in an appropriate directory and appropriate file permissions are set. The execution permission must be set so that only authorized users may execute the License Manager.
