Setting license server options

Change the license server address and port if you move or use a different license server. You can also set a communications password and how often to update the global user cache.

1. Click Server Options. You can also choose View > Server Options.

The Options dialog box opens.

2. Select the License Server category.

3. Enter the License server address and port you want the Helix ALM Server to connect to.

Click Find License Servers to search for available servers. See Finding license servers.

4. Optionally enter a License server communications password.

The password provides additional security by preventing unauthorized users from using licenses. If you change the communications password, you must use the same password in Helix ALM. Users cannot log in to Helix ALM if the passwords do not match.

5. Select a Cache Refresh Rate to specify how often the Helix ALM Server checks with the license server for new users or changes to existing users.

6. Click Test Connection to test the license server connection.

If the connection fails, check the address, port number, and password.

7. Click OK to save the changes.
