License Server

The OpenText IDOL License Server allows you to license all your IDOL products.

When you set up your IDOL system, you install a License Server on a machine that all other services can contact over the network. This License Server must have access to the license key file that contains your licensing information, and the version key file for your most recent component version.

You then configure each IDOL service with a [License] configuration section. In this section, you configure the host and port of the License Server. These components then contact the License Server for license details when they start. The License Server manages the licenses for all your services.

You can operate the License Server by using ACI actions (HTTP requests that provide a quick way to operate the License Server from your Web browser).
