        <h1><a name="kanchor13"></a>License Manager Installation</h1>
        <p>A License Manager 
 program need not run on a file server system or any specific hardware 
 server. Any computer that meets the requirements is acceptable. Realistically, 
 a system running on Pentium 
 Processor 3 (or higher), 550 MHz and having 128 MB 
 RAM is a good choice for measuring stress data.         <![CDATA[
 ]]></p>
        <p>The License Manager can be installed and run on multiple computers (see ). It 
 can be installed on any computer, even a computer that is used to run 
 one of the licensed applications. The application running on a client 
 may choose any available License Manager with a valid license code for 
 that client. </p>

                    <li class="Bullets_1" value="1">You may install the Sentinel RMS License Manager using its installer 
 (provided by your vendor or can be downloaded from the SafeNet 
 web site at <a href="http://www.safenet-inc.com" style="font-style: italic;">http://www.safenet-inc.com</a>).</li>
                    <li class="Bullets_1" value="2">We do not recommend having different versions of the License Manager co-existing on a system. If you already have an older version of the Sentinel RMS License Manager installed on your system, uninstall it before installing the new one. </li>
                    <li class="Bullets_1" value="3">To uninstall the License Manager, look into the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Control 
 Panel</span> &gt; <span style="font-weight: bold;">Add or Remove Programs</span> 
 option for the entry <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sentinel RMS 
 License Manager &lt;version&gt;</span> under the list of programs.</li>
                    <li class="Bullets_1" value="4">If you have upgraded the earlier version server with the newer one without uninstalling the former and now want to uninstall the same, then it is recommended to remove both the versions of License Managers (newer version first).</li>
                    <li class="Bullets_1" value="5">By default, the License Manager is 
 installed at the following path on Windows: <span style="font-style: italic;">&lt;OSDrive&gt;:\Program 
 Files\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel</span>. However, you may change it when prompted for it during the installation process. </li>

                <p>If the Sentinel RMS License Manager is not added under the Windows Firewall 
 exceptions, the communication between the clients requesting licenses 
 and the RMS License Manager cannot take place. </p>
                <p>The Sentinel RMS License Manager (License Manager) installer adds this 
 entry, by default. If you change this default addition during the installation, 
 you need to manually allow the Sentinel RMS License Manager (License Manager). 
 Here are the steps:</p>
                <ol>
                    <li class="Numbered_Steps" value="1">From the Start 
 menu, point to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Settings</span> and click 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Control Panel</span>. </li>
                    <li class="Numbered_Steps" value="2">Double-click 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Windows Firewall</span>. </li>
                    <li class="Numbered_Steps" value="3">Click the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Exceptions</span> tab. </li>
                    <li class="Numbered_Steps" value="4">Click the Add 
 Program button.</li>
                    <li class="Numbered_Steps" value="5">Browse for the 
 License Manager executable (<span style="font-style: italic;">lservnt.exe</span>). 
 It is installed at: <span style="font-style: italic;">&lt;OSDrive&gt;:\Program 
 Files\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel.</span></li>
                    <li class="Numbered_Steps" value="6">Click <span style="font-weight: bold;">OK</span><span style="font-style: italic;">. </span>You will find the <span style="font-style: italic;">lservnt.exe</span>

                <p>Here are few recommendation that you can make use while setting up the RMS License Manager: </p>
                <ul>
                    <li class="Bullets_1" value="1">The computers on which 
 License Managers run should use static IP addresses rather than dynamically 
 allocated IP addresses (DHCP). 
 In fact, redundant License Manager computers must use static IP addresses.</li>
                    <li class="Bullets_1" value="2">Client computers should 
 directly contact the License Manager that services the licenses used by 
 that client. The <a href="EnvVariables_Clients.htm">LSHOST 
 and LSFORCEHOST environment variables</a> or the lshost file can be used 
 to do this.</li>
                    <li class="Bullets_1" value="3">Client computers should 
 contain a hosts file that maps IP addresses to the host names of the computers 
 on which License Managers reside; this speeds up contacting those License Managers. For certain supported versions of Windows, this file is probably located in<span style="font-style: italic;"> \System32\a\Etc</span>. The file itself 
 contains instructions on entry format.</li>
                </ul>
                <p class="SFNT_Note">The License Manager can communicate over a single IP address only on a <a name="kanchor14"></a>multi-home PC. 
 You do not have choice to specify any particular IP address for use by 
 the License Manager. If the IP address to which License Manager is bound 
 becomes unavailable for any reason, then the License Manager needs to be 
 restarted to allow using any other IP address on the system.</p>
                <ul>
                    <li class="Bullets_1" value="1">We recommend restarting the License Manager in the case of time zone change.</li>
