To setup a floating license for License Statistics, you must configure and start the LM-X license server and correctly configure License Statistics to use the floating license

  1. Configure the LM-X license server (by specifying needed settings in the configuration file lmx-serv.cfg configuration file can be found in license directory) (http://docs.x-formation.com/display/LMX/License+Server+Configuration+file), especially set path to a license file in LICENSE_FILE, which is in the license directory. Be sure to correctly set the path to the license file in the LICENSE_FILE setting. See License Server Configuration file in the LM-X documentation.

  2. Start LM-X license server. (Windows: after verifying that everything is working LM-X server should be installed as a service, so it starts automatically on every Windows restart) 

  3. Set LM-X server port (optionally) and hostname in LICENSE_PATH variable. Alternatively LM-X server automatic discovery can be used by setting: LICENSE_PATH = AUTODISCOVERY 

  4. Optionally it is possible to split one license into several smaller. This should be helpful for having two instances of License Statistics, e.g. one production and one test installation.
