Borland License Server Download, Installation and Hosting (Console Installer)

This page provides instructions to setup the Borland License Server to accompany the purchase of concurrent or named user product licenses.

All four steps have to be completed in order to run the server successfully. If you have already installed the current version of the server and need to add more licenses, go directly to the Step 4.

Step 1 - Download

Platform Release Date

Version

history
Solaris October 15, 2007 4.03
Linux October 15, 2007 4.03
Windows XP, 2003, Vista October 15, 2007 4.03

Step 2 - Install

Select a stable server machine to install Borland License Server. To ensure high availability of licenses, select a server that is not shut down often. Also, keep in mind that network licensed applications need constant network access to the server machine and may be installed and used on computers throughout a network. Finally, please consider that once licenses are hosted (locked) to a host server machine, the licenses may not be moved to another server.

IMPORTANT: If upgrading to a newer version of Borland License Server, please backup currently installed files before unpacking an archive because unpacking an archive may overwrite important files such as belise/conf/userlist.txt and belise/conf/userlist-concurrent.txt .

Unpack the archive to a directory on the server.

Step 3 - Obtain host information

You must have Sun's Java Development Kit or Java Runtime Environment (JDK/JRE 1.4) installed on your system (see http://java.sun.com/j2se/ for more information). Once installed, you should set the JAVA_HOME variable in your system environment to point to your installed JDK/JRE.

For example:

From the belise/bin directory, run the host utility: belise host (on Windows) or belise.sh host (on UNIX). Make a note of the host name.

Step 4 - Host licenses and Download configuration files

The process of generating configuration files is called "hosting." Please use the login name and password provided with your License Certificate to access Borland's hosting Web site. The exact host name derived in the previous step is required to host successfully.
