This topic describes how to install license server on the headless machine.
| Note: | To configure the installed license server, you use the License Management Console that does not have a command-line interface. See Configure License Server. |
 |
Installation process requires the user to have root permissions. |
Requirements
To install the license server, you must have Java 8 installed. To check if it is installed, run the following command:
java -version
|
We do not support other Java versions (Java 9 and later). |
| Note: | By default, Protection! License Server looks for the installed Java 8 on the computer and uses it if possible. If the server cannot find Java 8, make sure you set the path to the Java 8 installation folder as the value of the JAVA_HOME environment variable. |
If you don't have Java 8 installed:
-
Refresh your package list:
sudo apt-get update
-
Install Java:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
Installing License Server
-
Download the license server installation package to the current folder:
wget "http://dl.eviware.com/Protection/ProtectionLS_4_9_4_linux.sh"
-
Make the downloaded file executable:
chmod +x ./ProtectionLS_4_9_4_linux.sh
-
Run the installation with the root permissions:
sudo ./ProtectionLS_4_9_4_linux.sh
-
Follow the instructions on the screen to finish the installation.
Modifying the Server Configuration
After you install the license server, you need to configure it.
|
Before configuring it, make sure the server is not running. You can do this by using the ProtectionLS script (by default, it is located in the <ProtectionLS Installation Directory>/bin directory): sudo ./ProtectionLS status If the server is running, run |
-
Specify server IP or host name in the <ProtectionLS Installation Directory>/bin/server.xml file by using any text editor:
<server hostName="111.222.333.444" port="1099" exportPort="10991" mgmtPort="9999" mgmtExportPort="9998" allowrestart="false">
<paths>
... -
Start the license server:
./ProtectionLS start
What to Do Next
Your license server is configured. Now, install a license by using the License Management Console on a not headless machine in your network. To learn how to do it, see Configure License Server.
