Installation

To install the private License Server in Linux OS, do the following:

1. Create an activation request (
see 
2. see Creating an activation request).
3. Contact an AxxonSoft manager to get the necessary license-server.deb package and the keyfile.zip key package for the private License Server.
   The keyfile.zip key package contains:
   
   1. Certificate: ngp.licserver.crt
   2. Private key: ngp.licserver.key
   3. Server key: server.license.key
   4. Client key: license.key
4. Copy the license-server.deb package, received from an AxxonSoft manager, to the Downloads folder.

5. Install the private License Server:

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo dpkg -i license-server.deb

6. Make sure that there is a LEASE_ACCOUNTER_TLS_AUTH_ENABLED=true variable at the /etc/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/ path in the license.conf configuration file. If the variable is missing, run the following command:

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo nano /etc/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/license.conf

7. Unzip the keyfile.zip archive, received from an AxxonSoft manager, into the keyfile folder:

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo mkdir keyfile & unzip keyfile.zip -d keyfile

8. Go to the keyfile folder:

   Code Block
   language bash
   cd ./keyfile/

9. Add the ngp.licserver.crt certificate and the ngp.licserver.key private key to the /etc/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/ directory:

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo cp ngp.licserver.crt ngp.licserver.key /etc/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/

10. Restart the License Server:

    Code Block
    language bash
    sudo systemctl restart license

11. Add the server.license.key to the /var/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/keys directory:

    Code Block
    language bash
    sudo cp server.license.key /var/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/keys

12. Restart the License Server:

    Code Block
    language bash
    sudo systemctl restart license

Note

14. As a result, two files will be located at the /var/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/keys path: server.license.key and a key named as the system ID.

15. Delete the server.license.key from the /var/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/keys directory:

    Code Block
    language bash
    sudo rm /var/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/keys/server.license.key

Installing the private License Server in Linux OS is complete. To access the License Server web interface, you need to:

1. Determine the address of the License Server using the command:
   

   Code Block
   systemctl status license

2. Enter the obtained address into the browser's search bar.

Activate the Client license.key on all Axxon One Servers in the domain using the activation utility (see Activation by applying license file).

Useful commands

Install: 

dpkg -i license-server.deb

Delete:

dpkg -r license-server

Restart the service:

systemctl restart license

Check the status of the service:

systemctl status license

View the service log:

journalctl -u license.service -r

Useful commands using Prometheus metrics

Check the status of the service:

ngp_license_service_status

Where the response is:

• 0—the service is working;
• greater than or equal to 1—there are problems in the service operation.

Check license expiration time:

ngp_license_expire_time_utc

The response contains the time in 64-bit Unix format. To convert the response to date and time format, you can use any available converter (for example, https://timeconverter.online/). For example, 1917820800 corresponds to October 10, 2030 in the value of the license key.
