License Management : To Install and Enable Licenses

To Install and Enable Licenses
When you install AccuRev, you specify one of three license options:
Local Named User Licensing (e.g., keys.txt) [not supported as of AccuRev 5.4]
When you choose Local Named User Licensing or Local Standard/Flexible Licensing, only the selected manager will be configured and enabled, but files for both managers will be installed.
If necessary, you can switch from one license manager to the other by acquiring the appropriate license file and modifying the configuration files.
For example, if you installed Local Named User Licensing (e.g., keys.txt) and wish to switch to either standard or flexible licenses:
1. Contact AccuRev to request standard/flexible licenses for your site.
2. Install the new “accurev.lic” file as specified in the instructions you receive with the file (typically, you place this file in ac-install/bin).
3. Start the standard/flexible license manager server. The easiest way to do this once is to enter rlm on the command line:
> ac-install/bin/rlm
For the long-term, you will want to configure your system to start the standard/flexible license manager automatically at boot time.
For an example of how to do this on UNIX/Linux, see the example script at
ac-install/extras/unix/accurev_rlm.
For Windows, you can create a service from the command line:
> rlm -install_service -dlog "ac-install\bin\rlm_license.log"
-service_name "AccuRev License Manager"
For details, see “The License Server” section of the on-line Reprise License Manager End-User Guide at http://www.reprisesoftware.com/RLM_Enduser.html
4. Edit ac-install/bin/acserver.cnf to contain the following lines to specify the standard/flexible license manager:
### LICENSE_MANAGER = keys.txt
LICENSE_MANAGER = reprise
LICENSE_SERVER = <license_server_hostname>
LICENSE_PORT = 2375
Notes: LICENSE_PORT (default 2375) is the port that AccuRev uses to communicate with the RLM server, and should not be confused with the ac-port value (typically 5050) that AccuRev clients use to communicate with the AccuRev server. LICENSE_PORT is the same port that comes with your accurev.lic license file. If you are familiar with the older keys.txt license files, it is important to realize that this is different than the AccuRev PORT value that came with those licenses. For information about changing these port values, see the “License Management” chapter in the AccuRev Administrator’s Guide.
The possible values for the LICENSE_MANAGER setting are:
keys.txt — Use the traditional named AccuRev license model (not supported as of AccuRev 5.4).
reprise — Use the newer third-party standard/flexible (accurev.lic) license model.
