Setting up the SPLM License Server

Task Number User Tool Step Description Comments/ Problems / Workarounds
Install server on a stable, single node, hardware configuration (such as a simple PC), with a static IP address, because license key installation and license seat usage authentication depends on the information gathered from the physical hardware. Any automated, intentional or unintentional changes that cause the hardware information not to match with the information used to generate the license key results in a failure of the authentication process. Virtual, shadowed, mirrored, dynamic, or distributed hardware configurations that worked with PD_Lice Server will not work with SPLM Server, including terminal (application) servers, networked and distributed storage management systems, etc. When these specialized systems occur in the users network, install SPLM Server on a separate stable hardware configuration system. The SPLM Server system should be situated on the users network where it can be accessed by all systems that are running application software that relies on the SPLM Server for license management. Multiple SPLM Servers can be used in the users' network as long as each system is a unique system
