Installing the DS License Server

This section explains how to install the DS License Server.
Before Starting the Installation

This section briefly presents what a typical license server and license client setup looks like, and highlights
certain points you must keep in mind before performing the installation.
Operating System Prerequisites

The following operating systems are supported:
Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit x86

Windows XP Professional SP2 64-bit x86
Windows Vista SP2 32-bit x86
Windows Vista SP2 64-bit x86
Windows 7 SP1 64-bit x86
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 64-bit x86
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 64-bit x86
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 64-bit x86
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 64-bit x86
AIX 6.1 TL4 64-bit Power
AIX 7.1 TL0 SP2 64-bit Power
Solaris 10 5/08 64-bit Sparc.
Note: V6R2013 is the last release to support Windows 32-bit platforms. Consequently, we strongly
recommend that you use a different operating system when performing an installation from scratch.
A minimum of 2GB of RAM is required, 4GB of RAM are recommended.

For more detailed information about prerequisites, refer to the Program Directory.
License Server and Client Typical Setup

A license server helps the administrator to guarantee the license control is implemented in compliance with
purchased licensed products embedding the license client.
A typical license server and client setup looks like this:
The DS License Server is installed on a server machine on your network. The license administrator enrolls the product
licenses on the server. The applications embedding license clients communicate with the license server over the network
and retrieve the licenses from the license server.
Preliminary Remarks
Before you start the installation, keep the following points in mind.
Virtual machines, such as VMWare, are not supported. It is not possible to either run or install the DS License
Server on a virtual machine.
Only one DS License Server can be installed and configured on a given computer.
License servers and license client must be synchronized. An absolute time difference of one hour maximum is
tolerated.
Upgrading Your License Server

Keep in mind the following when you install a new version of the DS License Server:
each version of (or hot fix for) the DS License Server is complete, in other words, it is installed in place
of the existing version, so the existing version must be uninstalled beforehand
uninstalling the DS License Server does NOT remove license keys, settings or log files
you do not need to obtain a new activation license to install the latest version
failover members can communicate with each other only if they are at the same license server code
level. Be aware that upgrading failover cluster members from a given license server code level to a
higher code level will prevent the failover cluster from functioning while you are upgrading the second
member. Once the second cluster member has been upgraded, normal failover operation resumes.
To upgrade your license servers in a failover cluster, refer to Upgrading Your License Servers in a Failover
Cluster.
Installing the DS License Server on Windows

This task explains how to unload the DS License Server on a single computer running a supported Windows
operating system.
Installation and de-installation rely on Windows-compliant tools enabling anyone familiar with Windows procedures

Upgrading Your License Servers in a Failover Cluster

This section explains one possible method for upgrading your license servers in a failover cluster.
1. From a License Administration Tool tool on a fourth machine outside the cluster:
a) Connect to the three failover members, and check that the failover cluster is green.
b) Stop one of the failover members using the Servers - Stop command.
c) Check that the failover cluster status goes from green to yellow (meaning the cluster is still running).
2. On the failover member that you stopped:
On Windows:
-
22
Check that there is no local License Administration Tool running.

Uninstall the DS License Server.
Install the new DS License Server version.
On UNIX:
Check that there are no DSLicSrv processes running on the member using the command: ps
-ef | grep DSLicSrv.
Delete the installation directory as follows:
rm -rf /usr/DassaultSystemes/DSLicenseServer
Install the new DS License Server version as follows: startInstLicServ -noUI
3. Return to the fourth machine:

a) Reconnect to the upgraded failover member, and check that the member is running a different license
server version from the two other members.
b) Stop the server on the second member. The failover cluster status is now red.
4. On the second member, repeat the same steps performed on the first member.
a) Reconnect to the second upgraded failover member, then check the license server version and that the
failover cluster status is now yellow.
b) Stop the server on the third member.
6. On the third member, repeat the same steps performed on the other two members.
a) Reconnect to the third upgraded failover member.
b) Check the license server version and that the failover cluster status is now green.
Uninstalling the DS License Server

This section explains how to uninstall the DS License Server on both Windows and UNIX.
Uninstall on Windows
Uninstalling relies on Windows-compliant tools enabling anyone familiar with Windows procedures and concepts
to uninstall the software without assistance.
Otherwise, you will not be able to uninstall the software.
2. On the Windows desktop, select the Start > Control Panel, then double-click the Add/Remove Programs
control.
The Add/Remove Programs dialog box appears.
3. Select the item DS License Server from the list.

Uninstall on UNIX
This section explains how to uninstall the DS License Server on UNIX.
1. Log on as root.
2. Stop the license server by running the following command:
/usr/DassaultSystemes/DSLicenseServer/OS/code/bin/DSLicSrv -stopServer
or by using the Servers - Stop command provided by a local or remote License Administration Tool.
If you are using a local administration tool, exit this tool.
3. Delete the installation directory as follows:
rm -rf /usr/DassaultSystemes/DSLicenseServer
4. If you did not use the -x option with the ./startInstLicServ command when you installed the license
server, delete the remaining system files created at this moment by running the following commands, depending
on the UNIX platform:
On AIX:
rmitab DSLicSrv
On Solaris:
rm /etc/rc2.d/S98dsls
rm /etc/rc2.d/K96dsls
rm /etc/init.d/dsls
On Linux:
/usr/lib/lsb/remove_initd /etc/init.d/dsls
rm /etc/init.d/dsls
rm /etc/sysconfig/dsls
24
Configuring the DS License Server and

Clients
This section explains how to configure the DS License Server and clients.
Starting the License Administration Tool

This section explains how to launch the tool if it is not running, and obtain the computer id required for ordering
licenses.
1. Select Start - (All) Programs - DS License Server - License Server
Administration.
2. Locate the Computer id column in the dialog box:
The computer id will be required when you order your product licenses.
Note: An alternative method of obtaining the computer id is to go to the following installation directory:
C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\DS License Server\intel_a\code\bin
and run the following command:
DSLicTarget -t
The DSLicTarget tool is also available in the appropriate operating system folders on your CD-ROM.
On Windows, the computer id is based on the network card. Teamed and bridged network cards are not
supported.
Multiple network cards
25
On Windows, if your machine hosts several network cards and the computerID managed by the license server
is not from the network card you wish, you can change it. Be aware that, if license keys are already enrolled
in the license server, they will become invalid. So you will need license keys generated for the desired
computerID.
When installing the first time, the license server retrieves the computerID and stores it in its database. If the
computerID is changed later by using the DSLicTarget -s command, the license server will not take it
into account.
In order to reset the computerID in the license server database, you can follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Run the command DSLicTarget -l to list the IDs available on the machine.
Run the command DSLicTarget -s to set the desired ID in the Windows registry.
Uninstall the license server.
Reinstall the license server and check the Install Server from scratch check button to force the license
server to read the ID value stored in the registry, instead of the value in the license server database.
Note: On UNIX, start the License Administration Tool by running the following command,
for example on AIX:
/usr/DassaultSystemes/DSLicenseServer/aix_a64/code/bin/DSLicSrv
-adminUI
3. Optionally, you may wish to select another display scheme by using another one by selecting the View >
Look and Feel command.
Configuring and Activating a Standalone License Server

This section explains how to configure and activate your license server in standalone mode.
The installation created a DS License Server on your machine. But you must first configure and activate the license
server before a client process can be served.
You must choose to configure the server:
as a standalone server
or in failover mode as a member of a cluster.
These choices are mutually exclusive. Once you have configured the server in either standalone or failover mode, you
cannot modify your configuration. In particular, license keys are different.

Set password...
Listening port for the License Administration Tool.

Clicking this button opens the Administrative Credentials dialog box:
which lets you set a password required to administer your server using the License
Administration Tool.
When the password is already present, the button name is Change password....
Enable remote
administration
Check this option to enable your license server to be administered from a remote License
Administration Tool. The status of this checkbox is only taken into account once the
license server has been activated. Before activation, remote administration is allowed.
Only one License Administration Tool with full access may be connected to a given
license server. Other License Administration Tools are in read-only mode (a red dot
is displayed in the icon). Furthermore, a local License Administration Tool takes
priority over one started on a remote computer.
The License Administration Tool level must be higher than or equal to the license
server level.
Note: There's no connection timeout between a License Administration Tool
remotely connected to a license server and this license server. However, if a
network problem occurs or if the License Administration Tool runs from a
laptop which disconnects, the connection between both processes is broken and
the status in the Server Definitions tab returns to . Once disconnected, the
License Administration Tool doesn't automatically reconnect to the license
server(s).
Enable license

licenses by checking the box next to the license(s), or select and unselect all the licenses
using the Select all licenses and Un-select all licenses buttons respectively.
If activated, the traces of license request and release operations and timeouts are logged
and can be viewed using the Server Logs tab. Note that "timeout" means that the license
server released the license itself, because was not contacted by the licensing client
during the appropriate period.
If another License Administration Tool is already connected, the dialog box is in
read-only mode and the contents are grayed out.
Note: Release of licenses granted to ENOVIA Live Collaboration server are not
traced. Instead, timeouts appear for these licenses.

Point to this option to display the path of the directory containing license server logs.
The full pathname is displayed in a tooltip, and can also be selected when clicking on
it (or double-clicking or triple-clicking). The path may be located either on the local
machine or on a remote machine. The server log directory path can only be set in
command line mode (using the -logDir option of the DSLicSrv batch command).
This option is checked by default and signifies that you are configuring a standalone
server, not a server belonging to a failover cluster.
Refer to Configuring and Activating a Cluster in Failover Mode.
4. Set the licensing port number, then click the Apply button.
The Server Configuration dialog box now looks like this:
30
then click OK.

Pointing to the
icon now displays the following message:
No license enrolled
For the moment, the license server is configured but not activated. You cannot use the license server until it
has been activated. To activate the license server, you must enroll a special license: the Activation license.
If you have licenses for several editors, you will need several Activation licenses. However, this license is
typically embedded in the .LICZ file containing the product licenses, so you don't have to manage it in a
special way.
5. Enroll the license as follows:
a)
Select the License - Enroll command or click the
icon.
The Open dialog box is displayed.

b) Select the appropriate .LICZ file containing your licenses, then click the Open button.
License keys and their activation key are provided in the form of archives containing both the server
ACTIVATION license and your product licenses.
A file will be named something like this (with the .LICZ suffix):
DLD-430814856494DBA7_7KLXM-UVSBG-8VFDL-GPMGS-V1ED3_0001_1.LICZ
The License Enrollment dialog box opens, containing messages confirming that the licenses have been
enrolled on your server:

c) Click OK.
The
icon confirms that your server has been activated:
If you point to the

icon, a tooltip like this will be displayed:
server lw5sesdsy (10.232.69.37) connected
confirming that your license server is up and running.
32
Note: Once you have configured and activated your server as a standalone server, you can no
longer change your mind and configure it as part of a failover cluster. This is why the corresponding
options are grayed out.
Warning: the Activation license included in the .LICZ file with the product licenses is valid for only 30
days. You must activate the license server within 30 days after having received the license file. If you need
to activate the server a second time, after the first 30 days, the original activation license will no longer be
valid, in which case another activation license is required. You only have to activate the license server once.
The 30 days apply to the life of the activation license, not to how long the license server remains active.
Configuring and Activating a Cluster in Failover Mode

This section explains how to configure and activate your license servers in failover mode.
When configuring the license server, you can configure the server:
as a standalone server
or in failover mode as a member of a cluster.
In the preceding section of this guide, you learned how to configure a license server in standalone mode.
These choices are mutually exclusive. Once you have configured the server in either standalone or failover mode, you
cannot modify your configuration. In particular, license keys are different.
Before you begin:
Before commencing this task, keep the following points in mind:
You must install and start a license server on three different machines. A failover cluster of license
servers is composed of exactly 3 computers. The three machines can be any supported Windows or
UNIX machines: they do not have to be all Windows or all UNIX machines.
In order to maximize quality of service, it is strongly recommended that the three machines be on the
same subnetwork.
At least two machines must be up and running and connected to each other in order to have a working
failover cluster.
The three machines have the same role: there is no master/slave concept.
The three machines exchange messages every time license data is modified (for example, in case of new
license enrolled or license granted to a client). Only the modifications are transmitted and not all license
data.
Each machine has its own log file management: the logs are not synchronized between failover members.
In our scenario, you will start the License Administration Tool on a license server on Windows, then build the cluster
using three existing UNIX machines.
1. On any machine on which a license server has been installed, launch the License Administration Tool if it
is not already launched.
In our scenario, this tool is launched from a computer which will not be part of the cluster, but it can also be
run from a future member of the cluster.
33
2. Create a connection to one of the license servers to be part of the cluster using the Servers > New... command.
3. Connect the License Administration Tool to the server.
Or, point to the
The status now looks like this:
Pointing to the
icon displays the following message:
licensing port not configured; check server properties
4. Configure the license server.
Select the Servers - Property command and select the server name from the list.
Or, point to the
icon, right click and select the Property command.
Or, double-click the line containing the computer name.
The Server Configuration dialog box appears:
34
Here is a list of the information and options in the dialog box:

Server name:
Name of the machine hosting the license server
Server id:
Computer id of the machine hosting the license server
Software version: Internal DS License Server software version number

Build date
Administration
port:
Listening port for the License Administration Tool.
Set password...
Clicking this button opens the Administrative Credentials dialog box:
which lets you set a password required to administer your server using the License
Administration Tool.
When the password is already present, the button name is Change password....
35
Enable remote
administration
Check this option to enable your license server to be administered from a remote license
server. The status of this checkbox is only taken into account once the license server
has been activated. Before activation, remote administration is allowed.
Only one License Administration Tool with full access may be connected to a given
license server. Other License Administration Tools are in read-only mode (a red dot
is displayed in the icon). Furthermore, a local License Administration Tool takes
priority over one started on a remote computer.
The License Administration Tool level must be higher than or equal to the license
server level.
Note: There's no connection timeout between a License Administration Tool
remotely connected to a license server and this license server. However, if a
network problem occurs or if the License Administration Tool runs from a
laptop which disconnects, the connection between both processes is broken and
the status in the Server Definitions tab returns to . Once disconnected, the
License Administration Tool doesn't automatically reconnect to the license
server(s).
Enable license

Enables license usage statistics using the Statistics tab.
Displays the License Usage Tracing dialog box allowing you to select the licenses for
usage tracing:
You have to select at least one license to activate usage tracing. You can select individual
licenses by checking the box next to the license(s), or select and unselect all the licenses
using the Select all licenses and Un-select all licenses buttons respectively.
If activated, the traces of license request and release operations and timeouts are logged
and can be viewed using the Server Logs tab. Note that "timeout" means that the license
server released the license itself, because was not contacted by the licensing client
during the appropriate period.
If another License Administration Tool is already connected, the dialog box is in
read-only mode and the contents are grayed out.
36
Note: Release of licenses granted to ENOVIA Live Collaboration server are

not traced. Instead, timeouts appear for these licenses.
Licensing port:
The Licensing port: field is displayed in yellow, informing you that you can either
accept the default port number (4085) or set another port number.
Server log
directory
Point to this option to display the path of the directory containing license server logs.
The path may be located either on the local machine or on a remote machine. The server
log directory path can only be set in command line mode (using the -logDir option
of the DSLicSrv batch command).
Standalone server This option is checked by default and signifies that you are configuring a standalone
server, not a server belonging to a failover cluster.
Failover cluster
Check this option to configure the server as member of a cluster in failover mode.
5. Set the licensing port number.

You can leave the default port number (4085).
6. Check the Enable remote administration option.
This is required to enable you to administer the license server on the remote machine you are connected to,
once the license server has been activated.
7. Set the Failover port: number.
The default is 4086.
8. Check the Failover cluster option.
The Server Configuration dialog box now looks like this:
9. Specify the remaining server names.
37
A failover cluster comprises three server names. Note that your server name and its server id are already
declared. As you type in the names of the other two servers, the names appear in red while the software
checks that the server machines exist. The letters are then displayed normally once the existence of the server
machine has been checked.
Once you have defined three valid members, a ... button is displayed after each server id.
10. Click the Apply button.
The Server Configuration dialog box now looks like this (note the presence of the ... button after each server
id):
Click one of the ... buttons. The Modify Cluster Member dialog box appears:
For more information about modifying your cluster, refer to Maintaining Continuous Failover Cluster
Operation.
11. Click the OK button.
The License Administration Tool now contains the following:
The cluster is represented as a single connection comprising three machines. The first machine (in bold) is
connected, the others (not in bold) are not connected.
12. Enroll the license for the cluster.
38
Pointing to the
icon now displays the following message:
No license enrolled
For the moment, the failover cluster has been created and configured but not activated. You cannot use the
failover cluster until it has been activated. To activate it, you must enroll your product license which contains
the Activation license.
Note: Note that this is a special failover cluster license. When ordering the failover cluster license,
you must provide the computer id of each of the three machines.
a)
icon.

b) Select the appropriate .LICZ file containing your licenses, then click the Open button.
License keys and their activation key are provided in the form of archives containing both the server
ACTIVATION license and your product licenses.
A file will be named something like this (with the .LICZ suffix):
The License Enrollment dialog box opens, confirming that the server has been activated and cluster
licenses have been enrolled on your server.
c) Click the OK button.
The green background confirms that your failover cluster has been activated and is now up and running:
If you point to the green background, a message like this will be displayed:
cluster is up
confirming that your failover cluster is up and running.
Note: Once you have configured and activated your cluster, you can no longer change your mind
and try to configure one of the three machines as a standalone server. This is why the corresponding
options are grayed out when you display the cluster properties:
13. Enroll your product licenses.

Licenses intended to be used in a cluster are special cluster licenses, just like the cluster activation license.
Enrolling the licenses on one cluster member also enrolls them automatically on the other cluster members.
14. Consult the Status column to evaluate cluster status.
39
The first server name is in bold because you connected to it when building the failover cluster. The other
server names are not in bold: they are members of the cluster but you have not connected to them.
Note that the presence of a server in a cluster does not stop you from being able to connect to it to benefit
from the other services provided by the License Administration Tool not directly involved in cluster license
management, for example logging and monitoring.
A symbol like this:
displayed in certain tabs indicates that a cluster is present. Servers to which you are connected are in bold.
Check the option button to use the relevant function with the cluster.
Furthermore, in certain tabs, the servers can be chosen from a pull-down list. The list contains servers to
which you are connected.
The meaning of colors and symbols is described in the following table:
Symbol
Meaning
The cluster member is connected to the License Administration Tool.
The cluster member is connected to the License Administration Tool in read-only mode.
The cluster member is NOT connected to the License Administration Tool.

A communications link has been established between two members of the cluster.
No information is available about the communication status between both members. Connect to at
least one of both members to determine the status of this particular link.
A green background indicates that the cluster is up and running. At least two links exist.
A yellow background indicates that the cluster is up and running, but indicate that there is a problem:
only one link exists. For example, one of the three servers may be unreachable for a variety of reasons,
but the cluster remains up and running as long as at least two servers can exchange information
between them.
Red icons indicate IN ALL CASES that the cluster is down. No links exist.
The following table illustrates some typical examples of cluster status symbols that may be displayed during
cluster operation:
40
This symbol...
means that...
You have not connected to a cluster member: cluster status is undetermined.
The cluster is up and running. One of the servers is connected to the other two, but we don't know if
these two servers are inter-connected or not. Not enough information exists about the link between
the non-connected servers.
The cluster is still up and running but one of the servers is not linked to any other (maybe it was shut
down or is unreachable over the network for some reason or other). Even though two up and running
servers are enough to keep the cluster up, if another server goes down, the cluster will go down also.
The cluster is down: no links exist.
In case one failover member goes down and can no longer start, it is possible to get failover data (configuration
and license keys) from one of the remaining working members of the cluster:
1. Ensure that remote administration is enabled on working members
2. Ensure that no password is set on working members.
3. Run the following command on the member which refuses to start:
DSLicSrv -initServer -adminPort AdminPortNumber -fromHost
WorkingMemberName -force
where AdminPortNumber is the administration listening port number and WorkingMemberName
is the name of one of the remaining working cluster members from which you retrieve the failover data.
4. Start the license server on this computer.
Maintaining Continuous Failover Cluster Operation

This section describes the different operations you can perform following failure of one of the members of a DS
License Server cluster, without having to stop the cluster.
In the event of a hardware failure involving a member of a DS License Server failover cluster, the cluster remains
active, but it used to be necessary to stop the cluster in order to replace the failed member by a new one. This limitation
has been removed.
Remember that, if one of the three members of a failover cluster goes down, the failover itself remains active and can
continue to serve licensing clients without interruption. The status of the failover is yellow in the License Administration
Tool.
Even if the replacement can be planned, the fact that the failover cluster is down even only for a few minutes can impact
operations. You can perform the following actions for the failed member, in order to restore the failover status to green,
without stopping the failover cluster:
replace a failover member
41
change the hostname of a failover member

replace the network card hosting the computerID of a failover member
repair a corrupted license server database of a failover member.
Replace a Failover Member

Before you begin: In the following scenario, let's assume you have a failover cluster with the following three
cluster members, M1, M2 and M3:
M1: iclin1plp
M2: icaix1plp
M3: iclin3plp
Let's assume member M1 is broken and must be replaced with member M4.
1. Install a DS License Server from scratch on member M4.
2. Obtain replacement failover license keys for the computer IDs M2, M3 and M4.
3. From failover member M2, start the License Administration Tool.
4. In the Server Configuration dialog box for your cluster, click the ... button after member M1:
The Modify Cluster Member dialog box appears.

5. Check the option Replace computer with and enter the name of M4, for example nuq32plp, which will
replace computer iclin1plp, as illustrated below:
Then, click the OK button.

The following warning is displayed:
42
Warning: Enrolled licenses will be invalidated within 24 hours. You should be ready after this operation to
enroll a full set of licenses, including ACTIVATION. Do you want to proceed?
Click the Yes button.
Your modified cluster now contains the following members:
M4: nuq32plp
M2: icaix1plp
M3: iclin3plp
6. Enroll new licenses generated for the cluster nuq32plp-icaix1plp-iclin3plp.

New cluster licenses are needed because one of the three computerIDs in the failover cluster has changed.
For practical reasons, we strongly recommend that you obtain the new licenses BEFORE changing the
computerID of a cluster member.
Note: Keep in mind that as long as two members are active, the failover cluster remains operational.
As soon as one computerID of the failover is changed, the cluster remains up but the old licenses are
considered still valid for a maximum duration of 24 hours only. The new licenses containing the
replacement computerID must be enrolled during this 24-hour period. Obtaining the new licenses
before is critical.
After enrolling the new licenses, your new cluster licenses are Active but the previous licenses remain and
are Invalid (because generated for M1, M2 and M3) and highlighted in red:
Right-click the old licenses and select Delete to delete them.

At any time during these steps, licensing clients were able to receive licenses.
Rename a Member
M1: icwvc1plp
M2: icaix1plp
M3: icw8s4plp
Let's assume you need to rename M1 from icwvc1plp to icw7c1plp.

1. Stop failover cluster member M1 icwvc1plp.
43
2.
3.
4.
5.
Rename M1 and restart the computer.

Install a DS License Server from scratch on member M1.
From failover member M2, start the License Administration Tool.
In the Server Configuration dialog box for your cluster, click the ... button after member M1:

6. Check the option Change computer name and enter the name of computer icw7c1plp as illustrated below:

Your modified cluster now contains the following members:
M1: icw7c1plp
M2: icaix1plp
M3: icw8s4plp
Note: This scenario can also be useful if you want to change hardware but keep the network card on
the replaced computer.
Note: You do not need new license keys because the three computer IDs remain the same.

6. Check the option Update computer id as illustrated below:

The following warning is displayed:
Warning: Enrolled licenses will be invalidated within 24 hours. You should be ready after this operation to
enroll a full set of licenses, including ACTIVATION. Do you want to proceed?
Click the Yes button.
Your cluster will be updated with a new computer id for member M1.
7. Enroll new licenses generated for the cluster.
45
New cluster licenses are needed because one of the three computerIDs in the failover cluster has changed.
For practical reasons, we strongly recommend that you obtain the new licenses BEFORE changing the
computerID of a cluster member.
Note: Keep in mind that as long as two members are active, the failover cluster remains operational.
As soon as one computerID of the failover is changed, the cluster remains up but the old licenses are
considered still valid for a maximum duration of 24 hours only. The new licenses containing the
replacement computerID must be enrolled during this 24-hour period. Obtaining the new licenses
before is critical.
After enrolling the new licenses, your new cluster licenses are Active but the previous licenses remain and
are Invalid and highlighted in red:
Right-click the old licenses and select Delete to delete them.

At any time during these steps, licensing clients were able to receive licenses.
Repair Corrupted Data of a Member

M1: nuq32plp

3.
4.
46
Stop failover cluster member M2.


5. Check the option Repair computer as illustrated below:
Click the OK button to repair the corrupted data.

Note: You do not need new license keys because the three computer IDs remain the same.
Starting and Stopping the DS License Server

Tools are provided to start and stop the DS License Server.
1. The first and simplest way is to use the standard Windows Services management tool and stop the DS License
Server Windows service.
When you installed the DS License Server, a Windows service named DS License Server was created and
configured automatically to start the license server. The service guarantees that the DS License Server is
always started automatically when you log on:
47
Since the DS License Server complies with Windows Service standards, you can also start and stop the DS
License Server service using the following commands in an elevated command prompt:
net start "DS License Server"
net stop "DS License Server"
Information and errors related to the DS License Server service are logged in the Windows event log and
can be viewed using the Event Viewer, under License Server in the Source column in the Application section.
2. Additionally, particularly when you are administering a remote license server, to stop the license server, you
can also select Start - (All) Programs - DS License Server - License Server
3. Connect to the license server by pointing to the
48
icon, right-clicking and selecting the Connect command:
4. Select the Servers - Stop command and select the server name.
A dialog box appears prompting you to confirm that you want to stop the server:
5. Click OK.
You are immediately disconnected from the server:
49
If you try to connect to the server, the following dialog box appears:
prompting you to check the server hostname and port number, and to check if the server is running, which
is not the case, because it has just been stopped. Click OK to access the license server configuration parameters
enabling you to check the server hostname and port number. Click Cancel to exit.
If you access the Windows services and refresh the list, you will notice that the DS License Server service
has been stopped.
Note: The License Administration Tool remains active because you can use it to connect to a remote
server even if your local license server has been stopped.
6. To start the license server again, restart the DS License Server using the Windows Services GUI tool.
Note: On UNIX, start the license server by running the following command, for example on
AIX:
-startServer
and stop the license server using the command:
-stopServer
50
or the Servers - Stop command using the License Administration Tool.
Configuring Clients
Once your license server is up and running, and your licenses have been enrolled, you must configure the license
clients.
1. On Windows XP, on each client machine, create the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\DassaultSystemes\Licenses
On Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, on each client machine, create the following
directory:
C:\ProgramData\DassaultSystemes\Licenses
On UNIX, create the following directory:
/var/DassaultSystemes/Licenses
2. Go to the directory and create a file named:
DSLicSrv.txt
3. Edit the file to declare the license servers to which the client can connect.
The syntax of the declaration is as follows:
servername:portnumber
for example:
lw5sesdsy:4085
The port number is the license server listening port, not the administration port. If several standalone license
servers need to be accessed, add a new line for each license server.
Note that if the license server is on the same computer as the client computer, you can use the special keyword
localhost instead of the computer name, for example:
localhost:4085
Note: The syntax for failover servers is different. The three failover servers must all be referenced on
the same line as follows:
server1:4085,server2:4085,server3:4085
Communicating through Forward and Reverse Proxies

The machine hosting the License Administration Tool can communicate with a license server located behind
a forward proxy, and the license client and the License Administration Tool can communicate with a license
server located behind a reverse proxy, as explained in the following sections.
Implement a Forward Proxy for the License Administration Tool

The machine hosting the License Administration Tool can communicate with a license server located behind
a forward proxy.
51
1. Configure the forward proxy in HTTPS mode.

Note: All of the following configuration examples reflect the configuration of an Apache 2.2 forward
proxy, purely for illustration purposes, and are in no way intended to reflect other proxy configurations.
Add the following lines to the httpd.conf file:
ProxyRequests On
ProxyVia On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
AllowCONNECT 4084 4085
where the AllowCONNECT command references the licensing and administration tool ports.
2. Start the License Administration Tool.
3. Select the Servers - New command.
The License Server Connection Parameters dialog box appears:
4. Enter the name of the license server (the name of the machine hosting the server, typically), set the listening
port number (default is 4084), then check the option Use a proxy server and enter the proxy name and proxy
port number, then click OK.
52
The License Administration Tool can now communicate with a license server located behind a forward proxy.
Implement a Reverse Proxy for the DS License Server

The license client and the License Administration Tool can also communicate with a license server located
behind a reverse proxy.
1. Configure the reverse proxy in HTTPS mode and map the communications between the reverse proxy and
the license server.
The maps are:
https://myreverseproxyname:443/DSLS/client https://mylicenseserver:4085/DSLS/client
https://myreverseproxyname:443/DSLS/admin https://mylicenseserver:4084/DSLS/admin
where myreverseproxyname is the reverse proxy hostname and mylicenseserver is the license
server hostname.
Note: All of the following configuration examples reflect the configuration of an Apache 2.2 reverse
proxy, purely for illustration purposes, and are in no way intended to reflect other reverse proxy
configurations.
Uncomment the following lines in the reverse proxy configuration file (httpd.conf):
#LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
#LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
#LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
#Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
#Include conf/extra/httpd-default.conf
then edit the httpd-default.conf file and reset the value of the KeepAliveTimeout parameter:
KeepAliveTimeout 5
to a more appropriate value, for example:
KeepAliveTimeout 60
Add the following lines in the SSL configuration file for the reverse proxy (httpd-ssl.conf), before
the </VirtualHost> tag:
SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyPass /DSLS/client
https://mylicenseserver:4085/DSLS/client
ProxyPassReverse /DSLS/client https://mylicenseserver:4085/DSLS/client
ProxyPass /DSLS/admin
ProxyPassReverse /DSLS/admin
https://mylicenseserver:4084/DSLS/admin
https://mylicenseserver:4084/DSLS/admin
where mylicenseserver is the name of your license server.

Install your own certificate or a self-signed certificate you can generate by following the instructions on this
site:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html#selfcert
This certificate will be presented by the reverse proxy to the license client and the License Administration
Tool.
2. Configure all licensing client computers to point to the reverse proxy.
To do so, add the following declaration to the DSLicSrv.txt file on each licensing client:
myreverseproxyname:443
where myreverseproxyname is the reverse proxy name and 443 is the proxy port number (443 by
default).
53
3. If you also want the License Administration Tool to be able to cross the reverse proxy, configure the License
Administration Tool to point to the reverse proxy.
To do so, start the License Administration Tool, and select the Servers - New command. When the
License Server Connection Parameters dialog box appears:
specify the reverse proxy hostname (rever1dsy in our example) in the License server name field (instead
of the license server name), and set the SSL port number (443 by default) in the Administration port field,
for example like this:
Only check the Use a proxy server option if you are also using a forward proxy.
Note: If you are using a failover cluster, you need to set up three ports on the reverse proxy,
corresponding to the three license servers. For example, the DSLicSrv.txt file on each licensing
client may contain in this case:
myreverseproxy:443, myreverseproxy:444, myreverseproxy:445
Once the reverse proxy has been implemented, there are two different names for the servers displayed in the
License Administration and License Recycle tabs and in the detailed view in the License Usage tab. The
name of the reverse proxy is displayed at the top, and the real license server name is displayed below, for
example:
54
The licensing clients and the License Administration Tool can now communicate with a license server located
behind a reverse proxy.
55
Managing Licenses
This section explains how to manage licenses.
Enrolling Product Licenses

Once your license server has been configured and activated, you can enroll your product licenses.
2. Connect to the server.

Or, point to the

icon.

b) Go to the directory containing your licenses and select the appropriate licenses, then click the Open
button.
Note that you may receive either individual license keys (which are in files with the .LIC extension), or
license keys grouped in a single file (which has the .LICZ extension). A .LICZ group of license keys
typically also contains the ACTIVATION license. If this is the case, you enroll all the licenses at the same
time.
A .LICZ file will be named something like this (with the .LICZ suffix):
The License Enrollment dialog box opens, informing you that license enrollment has been started, followed
by confirmation that your product licenses have been successfully enrolled on your server:

3. Right-click a license and select the Save command to save a single license. If the license belongs to a
replacement group, all lines corresponding to this group are automatically selected, and all lines selected will
be saved as a whole.
Note: Note that in the vast majority of cases, your licenses will be shipped as license groups.
4. Right-click a license and select the Delete command to delete the license. If the license belongs to a replacement
group, all lines corresponding to this group are automatically selected, and all lines selected will be deleted
as a whole.
5. Click the Display superseded licenses button if you wish to list licenses belonging to a replacement group
which is not the highest. Click again to revert back to the default (Hide superseded licenses).
This button is grayed out if no superseded licenses exist.
6. Click the Save all licenses... button to save all licenses to a separate directory of your choice.
7. The next button to the right displays one of three choices, depending on the context:
if any licenses have expired, and can be removed, the Remove expired licenses button will be
displayed. Click this button to remove any licenses from the list which have expired. This option is
grayed out in read-only mode (when another License Administration Tool is connected).
click the Hide expired licenses button to hide from the GUI the expired licenses belonging to a
replacement group containing non-expired licenses and which cannot be removed. Expired licenses
belonging to a replacement group can be removed only if all licenses in this group have expired,
since a replacement group can only be removed as a whole.
click the Display expired licenses button to display the expired licenses belonging to replacement
groups also containing non-expired licenses.
When the button remains grayed out, no licenses have expired.

8. Click the Select columns... button to choose which columns to display in the tab.
The Select Columns dialog box is displayed:

What are License Replacement Groups?

The RepGroupIndex column displays the license replacement group index.
A given license id can exist either for a single feature or a group of features.
When you enroll the feature licenses for a given license id and for the first time, the number in the
RepGroupIndex column is set to "0", and the Status is Active. When your licensing needs evolve, you may
need to replace an existing feature or group of features referenced by the same license id. This is referred to
as a license replacement group. When you enroll the new license replacement group for the same license id:
the Status of the previous license changes to Superseded and is no longer displayed. If you wish to
display superseded replacement groups, click on the Display superseded licenses button. In order
to gain useful space, after a given period of validation, we recommend that you remove superseded
licenses.
a new line containing the same license id is added, the number in the RepGroupIndex column is
incremented, and the Status of the license is Active.
Getting Information About License Usage

The License Usage tab allows you to monitor license usage.

Count
Total number of licenses enrolled for a particular product.
4. Start a process (from the client or elsewhere) requiring a CPF license.

For example, log onto your ENOVIA Live Collaboration server using one of the users created at ENOVIA
Live Collaboration server installation, for example PLMADM, the administration user.
When the license server grants a CPF license, for example, to a license client, the License Usage tab looks
like this:
63
The number in the In use column for the CPF license is incremented by 1. Each time a license is consumed,
the number is incremented.
5. To find out details about the license (who is using the license, what type of license it is, etc.), double-click
the line containing the CPF license (which is a named user license).
The Detailed License Usage box appears:
Server
Name of license server computer.
License type
Type of license: NamedUser or Concurrent.
User

Casual usage (mn)
64
This field is only displayed once a casual license has been granted. It indicates, for the current
month, the cumulative casual usage for a given casual license, measured by the license server in
minutes, as illustrated:
N/A is displayed in the field for full named user licenses, indicating that this field is not applicable
to full named user licenses. The value in minutes is highlighted in red if the maximum allowed
usage duration is exceeded.
Role of the License Server
When the license server receives a named user license request, it checks if it is for a full license or
a casual license. In the case of casual license, the license server then:
measures the monthly usage of casual usage named user licenses by named users
compares the monthly usages with maximum usage duration
generates monthly reports pointing the over-use (if any).
The license server measures usage only for casual usage named user licenses. It does not measure
usage of full named user licenses or concurrent user licenses.
In the event of license over-use, the license is not blocked. The named user is not stuck and can
still use the casual usage named user license, even if the maximum usage duration value is exceeded.
The named user's current sessions are not stopped and new logins are not prevented. Only the
monthly report file and the log files will show the overuse.
In the event of license over-use, the following message is displayed in the casual usage log file:
Usage of XXX (Dassault Systmes) by YYY in excess of ZZZ mn
and also in the Server Logs tab.
Note: The month is managed as a calendar month between the 1st of month 00:00 UTC
and the last day of month 24:00 UTC. The usage measurement is the same if the calendar
month comprises 28, 29, 30 or 31 days or if it contains holidays.
Monthly Usage Reporting
At the beginning of every calendar month, the license server generates a usage report. This monthly
report file is generated only if at least one active casual usage named user license is enrolled in the
license server. It is generated even if no over-use occurred during the calendar month.
All casual usage values in Detailed License Usage dialog boxes on the license server are reset to
"0" the following month.
The report is generated at 00h00 UTC. If the license server is not running at this particular moment,
the report is generated the next time the license server is restarted.
In case of failover, each member generates the same report. The report files on each of the three
members are the same.
Please refer to File Locations, Settings and Registry Entries for a description of the report's location
and contents.
65
Note: You will be expected to provide a casual license usage report on request.
6. This time, start the LIV product and connect to a data source different from an ENOVIA Live Collaboration
server (you are not connected to this server), for example by opening a 3DXML file.
You will be prompted to choose a LIV license using the License Manager tab.
The License Administration Tool box now looks like this:
A license for the LIV product is consumed, so the number in the In use column is incremented by 1.
7. To find out details about the license (who is using the license, what type license it is, etc.) double-click the
line containing the LIV license.
The Detailed License Usage box appears and looks like this (divided into three parts in the following
screenshots):
This is the left section showing the user:
and this section shows the active process:
You will find the same type of information (the license type is NamedUser), except that the user is not a
named user (because you are not connected to the ENOVIA V6 server) but the operating system user. When
you exit the session, therefore releasing the license, the number in the In use column becomes "0".
8. Then, start the LIV-MDEVPM configuration and log on as DemoReviewer (this time, you are connected to
the ENOVIA Live Collaboration server as a named user).
The License Administration Tool box now looks like this:
66
The LIV-MDEVPM license is a named user license. The number of LIV-MDEVPM licenses in use is now
"1", and the number of CPF licenses in use is now "2" because when DemoReviewer consumes a
LIV-MDEVPM license, a CPF license is also consumed.
Note: It may occur for a given product that the numbers in the In use and the Count columns are
identical. This means that no more license are available. When this is the case, the corresponding
product line is highlighted in bold.
9. Double-click the line containing the LIV-MDEVPM license.
The Detailed License Usage box appears and looks like this:
Recycling Named User Licenses

This section describes how named user licenses are consumed and the steps you must take to recycle them when
you need to reassign them to other users.
Named user licenses are consumed immediately when a user starts a product, remain consumed after the user logs out,
and continue to be consumed until the license expiration date.
The need occasionally arises, under exceptional circumstances (for example, when employees leave the company), to
unassign product licenses to sever the tie between these employees and product licenses assigned to them, and reassign
the licenses to another user.
The ENOVIA Live Collaboration server-side Assign Licensing by Product tool (discussed in the Dassault Systemes
Licensing Essentials Guide) is used to assign licenses to and unassign licenses from users, but this may not be sufficient
in some cases (if the ENOVIA Live Collaboration server cannot contact the license server, for example): the licenses
can also be recycled on the license server. This is the role of the License Recycling tab which allows you to recycle
named user licenses only.
1. Select the License Recycling tab.
In this example, several named user licenses have been granted:
67
Note:
Since they cannot be manually recycled, casual usage named user licenses do not appear.
At the beginning of every month, the license server automatically recycles all casual usage named user
licenses. If a casual usage named user license is in use at that moment, recycling of that license is
postponed by the license server until it is no longer in use. If the license is used again during the
postponement period (which can occur if the user starts another session before having closed all the
sessions from the previous month), license recycling is cancelled for this month for this user.
2. To recycle a license, double-click the line containing the license for user PLMADM , or right-click the line
and select the recycle licenses command.
You are prompted to confirm:
Do you really want to recycle named user licenses granted to PLMADM on server lw5sesdsy?
Click Yes or No. If you click Yes, another dialog box informs you that all the licenses for the selected user
on the selected server will be recycled.
Note: It is not possible to recycle simultaneously licences for several users.
3. Click OK.
The license may or may not be recycled. If it cannot be recycled, another dialog box appears with a message
like this:
Licenses granted to PLMADM on server lw5sesdsy were not recycled: CPF is locked until 2/29/12 7:50 PM
LIV-MDEVPM is locked until 3/1/12 1:15 PM
If you did not close your session, you will be informed that the license is locked by a running process.
4. Click OK to exit.
Setting License Authorization Rules

This section describes how to set up license authorization rules for concurrent user licenses, token licenses and
named user licenses for users, groups of users or specific machines.
Concurrent user licenses can be shared among users and are not tied to specific users. Certain products can be sold as
shareable products, which can be granted and released during a V6 rich client session using the Shareable Products
tab. Shareable product licenses comply with the Concurrent User Licensing model and are network licenses served by
the DS License Server. By default, concurrent user licenses can be used without prior authorization by the DS License
Server.
68
Token licenses are similar to concurrent user licenses. The main differences are that a token cannot be shared by several
client processes (even running on the same computer), and that several tokens can be granted to a given client process.
Named user licenses are typically granted to users using the ENOVIA Live Collaboration server-side Assign Licensing
by Product tool which authorizes users to use the licenses. This is the preferred method which remains mandatory in
all cases. However, in certain cases, you may need to enforce an additional stricter level of license control of named
user licenses on the DS License Server. To do so, you can optionally set authorization rules for named user licenses.
Note: A license authorization rule for a specific named user license takes precedence over license assignments
made on the ENOVIA Live Collaboration server. This mechanism is particularly useful when you have several
ENOVIA Live Collaboration servers and a single DS License Server. In this case, for example, the number of
potential named users declared on the ENOVIA Live Collaboration servers (and assigned to licenses) may exceed
the number of licenses available. Centralizing named user license rules on the single DS License Server will
enable you to enforce exactly the number of licenses granted to your company.
However, when managing authorization rules for a pre-V6R2012x license server, a V6R2012x license
administration tool cannot manage named user licenses. When upgrading the DS License Server, existing
authorization rules are automatically set to concurrent user model.
The role of the Authorizations tab is to set authorization rules for both concurrent user licenses and named user licenses.
There are four types of rules:
Allow: authorize users, groups of users or specific machines or groups of machines to use licenses
Deny: deny authorization
Reserve: reserve a given quantity of licenses for a list of users or computers
Limit: limit a given quantity of licenses to a list of users or computers.
Only one rule type can be applied to a given license.

1. Select the Authorizations tab.
The license servers available are listed to the left (highlighted in red). The list to the right contains the enrolled
licenses classified first by editor, then by license model (Concurrent User, Token, Named User), followed
by license feature then license id.
Our example illustrates separate sections for both concurrent and named user licenses you can authorize or
deny for the selected license server. For example, the concurrent licenses enrolled on the server for the TOL
product for the editor Dassault Systemes are visible, along with a number of named user licenses for
different products:
69
2. Right-click in the space below User/Host Definition and select the Add command to create a User
or Host.
The Create new user/host dialog box appears:
Note: When the licensing client you are using is connected to the ENOVIA Live Collaboration server,
the user name is the P&O login name. When the client is not connected, the user name is the operating
system login name.
3. Enter the name and check the appropriate option for what you are creating: user or host name, then click OK.
User
User name.
Host
License client host name. For example:

SESDSY
User and host values are case-insensitive. For example, Bob and BOB are considered to be the same user.
70
In our example, the User/Host Definition field now contains a user:
4. Click on the symbol next to the TOL license. Do not select the individual license id if the imported license
is a license group (which is nearly always the case). Then, select the Add new rule - Allow command.
The Define a rule on the feature dialog box appears:
71
Select the type:
Select the type: User, Host, User Group or Host Group.
Choose the name:
Click and choose the User, Host, User Group or Host Group name.
5. To authorize the user we created to use the TOL license, select the type, choose the name, click the Add
button then click OK.
The Authorizations tab now looks like this:
The TOL license is now highlighted in green, signifying that a rule has been created allowing the user to use
the license.
If a user other than the authorized user logs in, the following message is displayed:
No license available at this time for this product
Click OK and a second message appears confirming that the license is not authorized, for example:
Failed to request license for TOL version: 10 or higher) Error: License not authorized for this user License
server configuration file path: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\DassaultSystemes\Licenses\DSLicSrv.txt (default path) List of license servers: [01/01] sesdsy:4085
OK: License server is running
6. To cancel the rule, click the TOL license and select the Remove rule command.
The TOL license is no longer highlighted in green.
7. To deny authorization, click the TOL license and select the Add new rule - Deny command. Select
the type, choose the name, click the Add button then click OK.
72
The TOL license is now highlighted in red, signifying that a "deny" rule has been created.
Click the user name and select the Properties command to display the user properties:
Note that the user is referenced by a license authorization rule. If you attempt to remove the user by selecting
the Remove command, the following message appears:
informing you that you cannot remove the user because it is referenced by a rule.
If the same user then selects the Shareable Products tab in a V6 rich client and tries to reserve the
license for the TOL product, a popup message appears:
No license available at this time for this product
Click OK and a second popup message appears confirming that the license is not authorized:
Failed to request license for TOL (version: 10 or higher) Error: License not authorized for this user License
server configuration file path: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\DassaultSystemes\Licenses\DSLicSrv.txt (default path) List of license servers: [01/01] sesdsy:4085
OK: License server is running
If you click the Server Logs tab and scroll the log, you will see a message like this:
2011/07/07 18:04:40:402 W LICENSESERV TOL not granted, user Administrator not authorized (from
client SESDSY (42721022FAFE292A-0ae84648.0):Administrator:Administrator:C:\Program Files\Dassault
Systemes\B213\intel_a\code\bin\CNEXT.exe)
8. To create a group, right-click in the space below Group definition and select the Add command.
The Create new group dialog box appears:
73
Note: Note that operating system user groups are not supported.
a) Enter a name for the group.
b) Check the User or Host option.
c) Select the user or host name, then click the Add>> button and click OK.
The group is created. Click the group name and select the Properties command to display the group's
properties:
74
Note: When you display the properties of a group, the Group name field can be modified.
9. You can also copy user, host and group definitions and rules to another license server by clicking the
appropriate item and selecting the Copy to server command.
10. To reserve a quantity of licenses, click the TOL feature and select the Add new rule - Reserve
command.
The Define a rule on the feature dialog box appears:
Select the type:
Select the type: User, Host, User Group or Host Group.
Choose the name:
Click and choose the User, Host, User Group or Host Group name.
Quantity of licenses:
Specify the number of licenses to reserve.
Select the type, choose the name, specify the quantity of licenses then click the Add button then OK.
The TOL license is now highlighted in blue, signifying that a "reserve" rule has been created.
11. To ensure that either a list of users or a list of hosts cannot consume more than a limited quantity of licenses,
proceed in exactly the same way, this time by selecting the Add new rule - Limit command.
75
Note:
Mixing users and computers is not allowed for RESERVE and LIMIT rules. It's only allowed for
ALLOW and DENY rules. In this case, if both users and hosts are declared, then both are checked
when granting a license. For example:
ALLOW USER1 and HOST1: only USER1 on HOST1 will obtain the license
DENY USER2 and HOST2: USER2 cannot obtain the license whatever the computer. No
user can obtain the license if logged onto HOST2.
The TOL license is now highlighted in brown, signifying that a "limit" rule has been created.
Here is an example to illustrate RESERVE and LIMIT rules:
Let's assume there are 100 licenses of product ABC enrolled in a license server, and that you create a group
of users composed of 25 members:
If you reserve 12 ABC licenses for this group, then you guarantee that at least 12 members of the
group can obtain an ABC license. The remaining 25-12=13 members can obtain or not a license
depending on the consumption of the 100-12=88 non-controlled licenses. With this rule, a maximum
of 88 users not belonging to the group can obtain a license, even if no group member consumes any
license.
If you limit to 12 ABC, then only 12 members of the group can obtain a license. The remaining
25-12=13 members cannot obtain one of the 100-12=88 other licenses, even if some of them are not
consumed. With this rule, 100 users not belonging to the group can obtain a license, if they are not
consumed by any member group.
12. To set a rule for a named user license, proceed in the same manner.
When you assign a rule to a named user license, this rule takes precedence over all assignments for the same
license made on the ENOVIA Live Collaboration server.
Let's take the following example.
User1 is granted access (on the ENOVIA Live Collaboration server) to the named user license for the feature
LIV-MDEVPM.
You then set an ALLOW authorization rule (on the DS License Server) granting User2 (who must previously
have been declared as a named user in the P&O database on the ENOVIA Live Collaboration server) access
to the named user license for the feature LIV-MDEVPM.
The result is as follows:
76
User2 can use the feature LIV-MDEVPM

User1 CAN NO LONGER use the feature LIV-MDEVPM: the reason is that an ALLOW-type
authorization rule has now been set for this feature on the DS License Server side. This rule grants
the feature license to ONLY User2. And even though User1 was previously granted access, the
authorization rule takes precedence. If User1 attempts to log on, the following message will be
displayed:
No license assigned to this user
Note:
If a license is removed or expires, and a rule had been assigned to that license, the rule is not deleted.
It becomes a ghost rule and is displayed in the lower right-hand corner:
This allows the administrator to avoid having to create the rule again if a new license is added. To
display the properties of the ghost rule, click on its name. To remove the ghost rule, click the red icon.
Note:
In the case of named user licenses, if you add a rule after some licenses have already been granted to
named users, then you may have to manually recycle them.
In example 1, let's assume that named user ABC license is granted to Steve:
1. Add a rule DENY Steve on ABC.
2. Steve can no longer use ABC, but the ABC license cannot be used by someone else.
3. You have to recycle Steve's licenses.
In example 2, let's assume that there are 10 named user XYZ licenses and that 2 of them are granted
to Alan and Barbara:
1. Add a rule RESERVE 9 XYZ to UserGroup1. (Alan and Barbara don't belong to UserGroup1).
2. Alan and Barbara can still use XYZ and only 8 users of UserGroup1 can use XYZ.
3. You have to recycle either Alan's or Barbara's licenses.

Tracking Server Logs

You can consult license server logs using the Server Logs tab.
1. Select the Server Logs tab.
The tab looks like this:
2. Specify the dates from when and until when you want to view log information, and select the server:
Every event is time-stamped.

The log contains:
information (identified by the letter I) about license server events such as starting and stopping the
server, enrolling licenses, etc.
warning messages (identified by the letter W) displayed in blue
error messages (identified by the letter E) displayed in red.
If you activated the License usage tracing... option in the Server Configuration dialog box, traces of license
request and release operations and timeouts will be logged. The following example shows the log trace when
an LIV license has been requested and granted (if you selected the LIV license for license usage tracing):
2011/07/07 15:26:53:836 I LICENSESERV LIV (Dassault Systemes) granted to
client SESDSY(42721022FAFE292A-0ae84530.0)
:ses:SES@DS.S-1-5-21-842925246-2139871995-725345543-13721.0AE84530.0.WWN-42721022FAFE292A:
C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B212\intel_a\code\bin\PLM3DNav.EXE
84
Refer to Error, Information and Warning Messages for a full description of traces.
Monitoring the Server

You can monitor license server performance using the Monitoring tab.
1. Select the Monitoring tab.
2. Select a standalone server to monitor.
The tab looks like this by default when you are monitoring a standalone license server:
Activity over the last 24 hours is displayed in green bar graphs. The monitoring interval is one minute.
3. Use the zoom slidebar to zoom on a particular period over the last 24 hours.
You can zoom down to display a period in intervals of 5 minutes:
85
The upper part of the display monitors the average duration of processing, by the license server, of client
messages which the license server receives.
The lower part of the display monitors the average number of client messages per minute processed by the
license server.
The different graphs are displayed on a logarithmic scale to be able to show both very high and very low
traffic. With a non-overloaded server, the average message processing duration should be a few milliseconds.
4. Set the Show longest durations check button to display the longest message processing durations.
The red bar graph represents the longest duration of a client message for each minute of the displayed activity
period:
86
5. Point anywhere over the window to move a vertical line over the specific minute of interest and display
additional information.
For example:
This displays, for the specified minute, the average processing duration, the longest processing duration and
the number of client messages received.
6. In standalone server mode, choose Client traffic or Admin traffic.
Client traffic
Admin traffic
Monitors messages sent by the license clients to the license server. The license
clients are the processes which request licenses to the license server.
Monitors messages sent by the License Administration Tools to the license
server.
7. If you select a failover server, similar tools become available:
87
The following modes are available in the pulldown menu:

Client
These perform the same monitoring functions as for a standalone server.
traffic/Admin
traffic
Failover
traffic
Because the selected server is configured as a member of a failover cluster:
the upper part of the display monitors the average duration of processing, by the failover
member, of messages sent to the two other members
the lower part of the display monitors the number of messages per minute sent to the
two other members
as illustrated below:
8. In case of suspected server performance problems or if the server hangs, and if requested, you can dump
server performance information using the dump buttons:
88
Dump heap
The server memory is dumped in a file named HeapDumpxxxxxxxx.hprof in the

same folder as the ordinary server logs.
Note: On AIX, the file extension is .phd.
Dump threads
The state of all threads of the license server is written to a file named
ThreadDumpxxxxxx.txt. This information could be requested from you in
exceptional cases where the server no longer replies to clients (in the case of deadlocks)
and no explanation can be found in server machine system reports.
89
Reference
This section contains reference information about batch commands and file locations.
DSLicSrv Command
The DSLicSrv command initializes and starts the license server and its associated administration tool.
Syntax
On Windows, the DSLicSrv command is located in:
C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\DS License Server\OS\code\bin
On UNIX, the DSLicSrv command is located in:
/usr/DassaultSystemes/DSLicenseServer/OS/code/bin
This is the syntax:
Option
Description
-initServer -adminPort AdminPortNumber -force
Initializes the license server. Licenses must be re-enrolled (including the

activation license). AdminPortNumber is the administration listening port
number.
-initServer -adminPort AdminPortNumber -fromHost

WorkingMemberName -force
Initializes a license server which is a member of a failover cluster that has

gone down and refuses to start; the command gets configuration data and
license keys from one of the remaining working members, where:
-startServer [-echo] [-logDir path_to_log]
AdminPortNumber is the administration listening port number
WorkingMemberName is the name of one of the remaining

working cluster members from which you retrieve the failover
data.
Starts the license server:
-echo: displays messages in addition to logging them
-logdir: specifies a different log directory.

Note: If you specify a remote directory, the license server
may hang if the remote directory can no longer be
accessed.
90
-adminPort AdminPortNumber
Declares the license administration tool listening port, where

AdminPortNumber is the port number, for example 4084
-adminUI
Starts the License Administration Tool GUI
-admin
Starts the License Administration Tool in command line mode.
Examples
The following examples illustrate the principal functions of the DSLicSrv command.
To perform this operation...
Run this command...
Initialize the license server
DSLicSrv -initServer -adminPort 4084

Note: You must run this command as root on UNIX, and in an
elevated command prompt on Windows.
Start the license server
DSLicSrv -startServer
On Windows, you may prefer to use the command:
netstart "DS License Server"

in an elevated command prompt.
Stop the license server
DSLicSrv -stopServer
Start the License Administration Tool user interface
DSLicSrv -adminUI
Start the License Administration Tool user interface and

reset tool settings
DSLicSrv -adminUI -resetSettings
Start the License Administration Tool in command line mode
DSLicSrv -admin

and send results to an output file in addition to the console
DSLicSrv -admin -t output file

and execute a command parameter file
DSLicSrv -admin -i input file [-o output

file]
The input file contains commands executed in command line mode.
-o output file is equivalent to > output file

Using the License Administration Tool in Command Line Mode
The majority of the tasks explained in this guide involve the use of the GUI version of the License Administration
Tool. However, you can perform the same tasks in command line mode.
To do so, run the following command:
DSLicSrv -admin
The following command prompt appears:

Location
License Repository (*)
The license repository containing enrolled licenses is located in:

On Windows XP:

Data\DassaultSystemes\LicenseServer\Repository
On Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008:
C:\ProgramData\DassaultSystemes\LicenseServer\Repository
On UNIX:
/var/DassaultSystemes/LicenseServer/Repository
: Warning: THIS FOLDER AND THE FILES INCLUDED IN IT MUST NOT BE CHANGED
NOR EVEN MOVED, RENAMED NOR ACCESS RIGHTS MODIFIED WHEN THE DS
LICENSE SERVER IS RUNNING. CERTAIN BACKUP SOFTWARE PRODUCTS PERFORM
SUCH FORBIDDEN CHANGES. CONFIGURE YOUR BACKUP SOFTWARE TO NOT
BACKUP THIS FOLDER. IF YOU WISH TO BACKUP YOUR LICENSE KEYS, YOU CAN
EITHER SAVE THE LICENSE KEYS YOU RECEIVED (.LIC OR .LICZ FILES), OR YOU
CAN USE THE LICENSE > SAVE COMMAND IN THE LICENSE ADMINISTRATION TOOL.
IF THIS RULE IS NOT FOLLOWED, THE NEED FOR REFRESHED LICENSE KEYS AND
FOR RE-ENROLLING THE LICENSE KEYS WILL BE MANDATORY. THE BEST WAY TO
AVOID THIS INCONVENIENCE IS TO STOP THE DS LICENSE SERVER FOR ONLY THE
FEW MINUTES NECESSARY TO UPGRADE IT.
Log Files (*)
On Windows, an installation log file is created in:
%TEMP%\DSLSmsi.log
This file is not created if the installation was performed by double-clicking the .msi file.
Furthermore, server statistics files (if enabled) and log files are stored by default in:
On Windows XP:

Data\DassaultSystemes\LicenseServer\LogFiles
C:\ProgramData\DassaultSystemes\LicenseServer\LogFiles
On UNIX:
/var/DassaultSystemes/LicenseServer/LogFiles
A new log file is created each time the license server is started, and also once the size of the active
log file exceeds 1MB. Old files can be freely removed or archived.

Port Management
There are three ports involved when managing the DS License Server:
Administration port (https protocol): default 4084, used by the License Administration Tool
to connect to the server
Licensing Port (https protocol): default 4085, used by license clients to request licenses
Failover port (https sockets): default 4086, used by intercommunication between cluster members.
