Use the Add license dialog box to activate licenses from the License Activation Server with an entitlement ID.
During the installation of License Administrator on WorkStations or Enterprise Servers, you need to type the network address to the License Server where network licenses are available for check out. The address to the License Server can later be entered or edited through License Administrator or directly in the Windows registry of the computer or Enterprise Server that hosts the licensed product.
If problems with the License Server or activated licenses occur, you may have to reset the License Server. All details about activated licenses on the License Server are compiled in files that start with "taclic" and have the .data extension. The file name string after "taclic" can differ. An example of the License Server file name is taclic_00249e00_tsf.data. The license details files are created the first time a license is activated on the License Server. By deleting the files you reset the License Server.
Use the License Server Configuration page to configure the address to the license server.
Use the Installation Type page to define which type of installation to perform when corresponding product is already installed on your computer or server.
You reset the License Server if it does not work correctly.
You upgrade your licenses when new versions are released, for example, to get access to new licensed features.
The License Server can be managed through a web-based administration tool called FLEXnet License Administrator. You use the Administration part of the tool to view system information and administer License Server user accounts, alerts, and other configuration.
Before upgrading the system, it is strongly recommended that you archive the historical data and back up the SmartStruxure servers to preserve the current data and configurations. If you plan to upgrade WebReports, be sure to back up the Reports database in SQL Server.
