Licensing Service and Features of Its Use

The licensing service is used in Linux OS to speed up work with the license server due to parallel license requests from BI server to the license server.

The licensing service is the licman utility with built-in support of parallel requests for the Sentinel RMS License Manager service, on which the license server is based.

NOTE. To get the licensing service, contact technical support by sending a request to support@fsight.ru or technical support services, which are available after registration at the website.

To use the licensing service:

Open the settings.json file delivered with the licensing service. The file contains the following structure by default:

{

"server": "localhost",

"port": 8210,

"debug": false,

"balance": true,

"workersCount": 10,

"clientTimeout": 600

}

Set license server connection parameters:

server. IP address or DNS name of license server. Default value: localhost
serverport. Number of the port, on which the license server is running. The parameter is not specified by default, the 5093 port is used.
port. Number of the port, on which the licensing service is available. The 8210 port is used by default.

Keep the rest of the parameters unchanged.

Start the licman utility.
Create a section with the License key containing the Service section with licensing service connection parameters in the settings.xml file with the following parameters:

Active. Licensing service activation:

True. BI server and license server communicate via the licensing service.
False. BI server and license server communicate directly.

Host. IP address or DNS name of the licensing service.
Port. Number of the port, on which the licensing service is available. The 8210 port is used by default.

The section example with the License key:

<...>

</Key>
</...>

Restart the BI server.
Set up automatic licensing service startup on computer startup. To do this, add the licman start command to Linux autorun scripts.

After executing the operations the work with license server is executed via the licensing service.
