Install License Server
To install an IDOL License Server, follow these steps.
To install License Server
- Download the stand-alone License Server zip package from the Software Licenses and Downloads portal. The package includes the License Server executable file and resources such as configuration files.
- Extract the files to a directory, on the machine you chose as the host. There are special requirements for your License Server host, such as a static IP or MAC address, which must match your license key. For more information, see The License Key File.
- Place your license key file (
licensekey.dat
) in the installation directory, alongsidelicenseserver.exe
andlicenseserver.cfg
. - If the IDOL components that you want to license are not on the same machine as your License Server installation, configure client authorization so that those components are permitted to request a license.

(Optional) Create a service so that License Server starts when the machine starts. For more information, see the following topics:
