Setting Up the License Server Machine

This section describes how to set up your license server machine.

The license server machine is the repository for network licenses. The machine must be connected to the Internet and available at all times.

NOTE   You should always update the license server machine with the latest Run-time Environment to ensure the best security and compatibility.

Install Admin Control Center on the license server machine. Configure the parameters described below in Admin Control Center.

Limit Configuration Activities to an ACC Administrator

1.Go to Configuration page > Basic Settings tab.

2.For the Password Protection parameter, select All ACC Pages.

3.On the same line, click Change Password.

4. Enter the new password in the New Admin Password field and in the Re-enter new Admin Password field.

5. Click Submit. The new password is set.

Configure Access From Remote Clients

1.Go to Configuration page > Configuring Access From Remote Clients tab.

2.Configure these parameters:

•Allow Access From Remote Clients. If the license server machine will be used only to serve cloud licenses to machines with identity clients, select Identifiable clients only. Otherwise, select the relevant option.

•Public Address for Access With Identity

•Store Identity Secrets. Select the Encrypted option if you want identity secrets stored in the License Manager database to be encrypted. If you select this option, you must also specify the storage encryption key using Sentinel Admin API.

Setting Up Cloud Licenses

Cloud licenses for identity-based accesses must satisfy the following requirements:

>Your Sentinel LDK Master license must contain the Cloud Licensing module.

>When using Sentinel LDK-EMS, the parameter Cloud Licensing in the Administration Console must be set to Enabled.

>The license must have the SL AdminMode locking type and must be defined with concurrency, specifying the desired number of network seats to make available.

Set up separate CL keys for each customer. Use the Produce and Push option in Sentinel LDK-EMS to push the keys to the license server.
