Adding server connections

Before you can access a license server from the admin utility, you need to add a server connection.

1. Choose File > Connect to Server.

The login dialog box opens.

2. Click Setup.

The Setup Server Connections dialog box opens.

3. Click Add.

The Add License Server dialog box opens.

4. Enter a Server Name.

Use a name that uniquely identifies the server. For example, Satellite Office.

5. Enter the Server Address of the computer the license server is installed on and the Port number.

Clients connect to the license server on this port via TCP/IP. The default value is 5100. Valid values are 1-65535.

Note:  If RSA key exchange is enabled for the license server, click Import to import the server settings instead of manually entering the information. Select the XML file and click Open. The Server Address, Port, and Public key fingerprint fields are automatically populated. The public key is required to connect to the license server. See Configuring RSA key exchange.

6. Click OK.

The server connection is added and you return to the Setup Server Connections dialog box.

Note:  You may want to move the servers you log in to most frequently to the top of the list. To reorder the servers, select a server and click Top, Move Up, Move Down, or Bottom.

7. Click Close when you finish.
