Installing the private License Server in Windows OS

Attention!

If you have Axxon One installed on your computer, you must dedicate a separate computer to install the License Server. You cannot install the License Server together with Axxon One.
443 port must be open.

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

Create an activation request (see Creating an activation request).
Contact an AxxonSoft manager to get the necessary License-server_InstallerWix.zip package and the keyfile.zip license 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
Run the setup.exe file from the package, received from an AxxonSoft manager. The installation will be performed in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMS\VMS\VMS License Server directory.
After the installation, the following will be added:
1. The VMS License Server program will be added to Programs and Features.
2. The VMS_License_Service will be added to Services. It will start immediately after the installation. After restarting the Server, the service will start automatically. In Task Manager in Processes, the process of the running service is called license_service.exe. After the process is finished, a new process will start in one minute.
Stop the VMS_License_Service.
Add the server.license.key to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMS\VMS License Server\keys folder.
Rename the ngp.licserver.key private key to ls.key and the ngp.licserver.crt certificate to ls.crt and add them to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMS\VMS License Server folder. Confirm the file replacement.
Start the VMS_License_Service.
Stop the VMS_License_Service.
In the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMS\VMS License Server\keys folder, delete the server.license.key. Only the key named as the system ID must remain in the folder.
Start the VMS_License_Service.
Activate the Client license.key on all Axxon One Servers in the domain using the activation utility (see Activation by applying license file).

Installing the private License Server in Windows OS is complete.

Possible errors:

Axxon One doesn’t see the License Server—try disabling firewall on both computers, also check if 443 port isn’t already in use.
The following error is in the License Server logs: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMS\VMS License Server\logs
