Ways to Set the License Manager Options
On Windows, you can use any of the following methods to set the license
server configuration options:
- The options set through
the system services (method 1) have the highest priority vis-a-vis other
methods—followed by options set through the registry entry (method 2)
and finally the LSERVOPTS environment variable (method 3).
- The options set through
the system services (method 1) are temporary; the remaining two methods
are permanent.
- If full file pathnames
are not specified while configuring the License Manager options, then the
files will be created under the /System32
directory, by default.
Method 1 - Using the Windows System Services Console
On a supported Windows system, use the following steps:
- From the Start menu, point to Settings
> Control Panel.
- Double-click
Administrative Tools.
- Double-click
Services.
- In the Services window, locate Sentinel
RMS Development Kit License Manager and double-click it.
- Stop the license
server (service, if running already).
- Set the parameter(s)
in Start Parameters. For example,
-s mylicensefile -l myusage.log -f mytrace.log -tr 7 will have the following
result:
- mylicensefile will be
searched by the application for the license code. Any new licenses added
to the RMS License Manager will be added to this license file.
- myusage.log will be created
containing all the License Manager usage information (such as, the license
server start, shutdown, license request, and license release).
- mytrace.log will be created
containing the License Manager trace logs. Level 7 enables the functions,
keys, and errors trace logs.
The Windows
Service Controller ignores the double quotes (“ ”). So, do not use double
quotes while setting options, else these will be ignored. For example,
if you specify -f aa"aa, then it will be interpreted as -f
aaaa.
- Start the license
server after providing the settings.
See the screen-shot below for an example.
Method 2 - Using the System Registry (Command-line Options)
In the Windows Registry Editor, create/update the value of "CommandLineOpts”
under the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rainbow
Technologies\SentinelLM\CurrentVersion.
See the screenshot below for an example:
Method 3 - Using the LSERVOPTS Environment Variable
- The options that can be set using the LSERVOPTS environment variable are described here.
- The steps for setting environment variables are described here.
