Using WRlfTool to Create or Edit a Redundant License File
WRlfTool is a Windows-interface program that allows you to create and
maintain a redundant license file.
The WRlfTool utility by default distributes the license tokens for a
redundant license among the redundant License Managers in the pool for high
assurance.
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the location of the wrlftool.exe
file, and double-click the file to start the program. (The exact location
of this file depends on your application vendor.)
The changes
you make to the redundant license file will not take effect until you
copy the changed file to a redundant License Manager in the pool (or edit
it directly on the License Manager) and then restart that License Manager.
Creating and Maintaining the Redundant License File
- To create a new
redundant license file, go to the File
menu and select New.
To edit an existing redundant license file, go to the File
menu and select Open and then
select the desired file.
- To add a new
License Manager to the pool, click Add
Server. You are then asked to type the host name and the IP address
of the computer on which that License Manager resides. All the license
License Managers in the pool must use the IP address to communicate.
- Once you have
added more than one License Manager to the pool, you can select one of
the License Managers and click Move Up
or Move Down to adjust its order
in the pool. This sets it preference order. If the License Manager having
first preference goes down, the License Manager with second preference
will be elected as the leader, and so on.
- At any time you
can select a License Manager and click Delete
Server to delete it from the pool.
Adding/Editing/Deleting Redundant Licenses
- To add a redundant
license to the pool, click Add License.
You can access a screen that allows you to either add the license code
or specify a file containing the license code.
- Once you have
added the license code, you see the View
License screen. It displays information about this license such
as the feature/version licensed, how many License Managers it is set up
to use, and so on.
The license
distribution will show all the token in the name of the leader.
