Overview

Setting up a computer as a license server

Step-by-step guide for Polysun server license installation

  • Install Polysun on the server. You can download Polysun here: https://www.velasolaris.com/downloads/.
  • Unpack the archive “PolysunNetworkLicenseManager.zip” (the path of the zip file is the main folder of the Polysun installation) and install the appropriate license manager depending on the operating system.
    • Windows server: Please use “setup.exe” for the installation
    • Linux/Mac server: use lserv64 (64 bit) or lserv (32 bit) (must be started from a terminal environment). Note: Under Linux/Mac, the licence manager is not automatically set up as an autostart programme and must therefore be set up manually (e.g. via crontab).
  • Start Polysun, first click on “Activate automatically with EID/PKID” and enter your license key (PKID, alternatively EID). If Polysun asks for a contact server address afterwards, enter “localhost”.
  • Close Polysun on the server. Start Polysun on a client. Click “Connect to a network license manager” and enter the network IP address of the server.
    • If it is not possible to connect a client to the server, you may need to enable UDP ports 5093 and 5099 in the firewall.
  • The activation should be completed with this.
    • If the process with online activation is not possible or desired, you will find in the ZIP file (PolysunNetworkLicenseManager.zip) a README file with another variant for setup (offline activation).
