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.
- Configure LM-X license server (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.
- 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)
- 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
- 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.
Assume we have a floating license with limits: 100 users and 10 servers for imported usage, and 100 users and 10 servers for realtime usage. For test installation we need 20 users
and 2 servers for realtime monitoring and import license should be disabled.
Relevant part of configuration file for test installation will look like:
LICENSE_PATH = AUTODISCOVERY
LICENSE_TOTAL_USER_REALTIME = 20
LICENSE_TOTAL_SERVER_REALTIME = 2
LICENSE_TOTAL_USER_IMPORT = 0
LICENSE_TOTAL_SERVER_IMPORT = 0
And the one of production installation:
LICENSE_PATH = AUTODISCOVERY
LICENSE_TOTAL_USER_REALTIME = 80
LICENSE_TOTAL_SERVER_REALTIME = 8
