How do I install the license server?

Host systems

The license server is available for the most common host systems:

  • Windows (32/64-Bit)

  • Unix (32/64-Bit)

Support of additional host systems is available on request. Please contact the HighTec support http://www.hightec-rt.com/en/support/contact-us.html.

Installation instructions

  1. Download or copy the RLM bundle to the machine you want to run the license server on.

    1. You can download the RLM bundle at https://www.reprisesoftware.com/admin/software-licensing-downloads.php. Versions for all platforms are available there. Please select the appropriate package.

  2. Unpack the archive to a user-defined directory.

    1. It is recommended to create a new folder in the c:\ root directory and keep all your license-related files in there.

  3. Download the ISV file (if you don’t already have it) hightec-rt.set from https://download.hightec-rt.com/maildata/hightec-rt.set.

  4. Copy the ISV file and paste it into your user-defined directory (to the same directory where the rlm.exe file is located).

  5. Copy the server license (cached/floating/roaming) that you received upon purchase to another user-defined directory.

    1. It is recommended to keep this in a subdirectory of the c:\ root directory, e.g., c:\Reprise\Licenses\.

  6. To start the license server, open a terminal in the directory of your RLM executable and run it by typing "rlm -c <path_to_license>".

    1. For this example case, it would be done by typing:

rlm -c c:\Reprise\Licenses\YourHighTecLicense.lic
The host ID of your floating-cached license must match the MAC address of the machine that you want to run the license server on.

Administration interface

After you have started the license server, you can access the RLM web interface to easily manage your licenses. This can be accessed by typing your hostname and port number into a web browser, "https://<hostname>:<port_number>".

As of RLM v15.1, the web interface requires a login. RLM automatically creates a username ("admin") and a password (blank) for you. After you log in for the first time, you have to change the password, otherwise, the license server will shut down within 10 minutes of when it was started.
