COBOL Analyzer Licensing

A Sentinel RMS license server is installed with COBOL Analyzer.

Depending on the licensing model in use at your site, you can manage your license:

• Locally, using the installed Sentinel RMS license server.
• Remotely, using a Sentinel RMS license server that has been configured to manage licenses centrally.
  Note: The remote license server uses the same software as the local license server that is installed with COBOL Analyzer.

You will need to apply a license in the Micro Focus License Administration to use COBOL Analyzer. To start the Micro Focus License Administration, choose Start > All Programs > Micro Focus License Manager > License Administration.

• If you use a local license server, you can apply a license using an authorization code or a licensing file in the Install tab of the License Administration.
  • Authorization code: Enter the 16-character license authorization code for COBOL Analyzer, then click Authorize.
  • Licensing file: Enter your downloaded license file (.mflic) by browsing or dropping the file, then click Install Licenses.
• If you use a remote license server, click Options > Advanced Configuration, then click Change in the License server field. Enter the IP address or server name of the license server, then click Save.

Your License System Administrator can tell you which licensing model your site uses and provide you with the name of the remote license server if needed. For complete information, including how to configure a remote license server, refer to the help provided with the License Administration tool.
