Installing the license file and configuring the master WebLM server

Last Updated : Apr 13, 2015 |

About this task

This procedure applies to a configuration where the master WebLM server allocates licenses to local AE Services servers (see Enterprise-wide licensing — allocating licenses or features). You will need to use this procedure to install the master enterprise license file (ELF) on the master WebLM server.

Follow these steps to install the enterprise license file (ELF) on the server that hosts the enterprise license file (ELF). For Software-only offer, this server can be an AE server or a computer dedicated to WebLM.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the computer that has the license file stored on it.
  2. From a web browser, type the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the AE Services server, for example https://aserver.example.com.

    In terms of this configuration example, the IP address would be 135.8.17.122.

  3. Press Enter.
  4. On the Application Enablement Services welcome page, click Licensing > WebLM Server Access.
  5. On the Web License Manager Log on screen, enter your WebLM user name and password, and click the arrow.
  6. On the WebLM main menu, click Browse.
  7. Locate the license file and click Open.
  8. Click Install.

    WebLM uploads the license file to the WebLM server. When the process is complete, the server displays the message: License file installed successfully. Notice that the WebLM main menu now displays Application_Enablement under Licensed Products.

  9. From the WebLM main menu, select Application_Enablement > Enterprise Configuration.
  10. Complete the Configure Enterprise page as follows:
    1. For the Master WebLM Configuration settings, which are required, accept the defaults.

      • Name: Master WebLM Server

      • Description: leave blank

      • IP Address: <IP address of the local c-dom>.

    2. For the Default Periodic Operation Settings settings, which are required, accept the defaults.
    3. For the SMTP Server Settings, which are optional, provide the name of the SMTP Server (Server Name), the user ID of the administrator (Admin Account), and the password of the administrator (Admin Password).

      These are the authentication settings for the SMTP server that sends email notifications for periodic operation failures.

    4. For the Email Notification Settings for Periodic Operation, complete the settings (Email Notification and Email Addresses) based on your operational requirements.

      By default, email notification is disabled (off).

    5. For the Default Periodic License Allocation Schedule, select the day and time, based on your operational requirements.
    6. For the Default Period Usage Query Schedule, select the day and time, based on your operational requirements.
    7. Click Submit.
