Sentinel RMS™ Network Licensing

Updating a Network License File


When you renew your annual maintenance, or purchase additional software modules you
need to update your network licenses to reflect those changes.

This document describes how to update your licenses. If you are setting up network
licensing for the first time, please refer to the document network_SetUpLicenseServer.pdf.

Preparation

1. Ensure any unexpired commuted licenses are checked in (returned).

2. If you are using a keyed network license, ensure that the key is attached to the
server.

Installing the license file

There are two methods of installing the new license file on the server:

• From the License Manager

Note that this option cannot be used for the installation of redundant license files.

• From WlmAdmin.exe

Option 1 – Using the License Manager

You can install the licenses on the license server from a CLS that is installed on either the
server or a client PC (with Administrator Mode enabled).

1. Run License Manager.

(If the license server is already the active server, go directly to step 3.)

2. Select the server you wish to connect to and click Change Active Server. Confirm
that you wish to change the active server, and close the dialog.

3. Select the license server in the list and click the Install License button.

4. In the dialog that opens, you have the option to request your license file over the
Internet or browse to a file that you have already downloaded or received by email.

generated the lock code.

previously):
