Installing A Golaem License Server

Please note that you only need to set up a license server to use a floating license. This license type is available to customers, not to evaluators.

 

If you already have a RLM license server running

Send us the MAC address of the server, and we will send you a .lic and .set to install on your server

 

Setting up a Golaem Crowd RLM License SeRVER

  • If you were not provided with a license server package, you can request here
  • Install the server
    • Extract the server package in the server installation directory (e.g. C:\GolaemCrowdLicense)
    • Copy/Paste the "…_server.lic" file you received from Golaem in the server installation directory

 

  • Start the server
    • Open a command window (or terminal for Linux)
    • Go to the server installation directory
    • Type rlm > output.log in the command window.

Please check if the port you specified for Golaem Crowd License Server is open on your server, otherwise, when testing you will get "communications error with server" messages

  • Installing the server as a service

    At this point, if you close your session, or end the command window, the server will stop providing license to your users. The best way to run this server is to run it as a service (or daemon).
    • it can be installed as as a windows service using the following command, from the license server installation directory:
      rlm -install_service -service_name GolaemCrowdLicenseServer -dlog C:\temp\GolaemCrowdRLM.log
       
    • The windows service can be deleted using the following command, from the license server installation directory:
      rlm -delete_service -service_name GolaemCrowdLicenseServer

For license server running under Linux, please check your operating system specific documentation to know how to launch an executable as a daemon.
 

Give users access to the server

The Golaem Crowd users will use the license file "…_user.lic" file that you received from Golaem. Users can then register this file at Golaem Crowd installation, or afterwards using the Golaem License Tool.
If you did not provide your server host name to Golaem you must set it in the user licence file, replacing the ServerHostName string
