Choosing a License Server
You will need to install the license server the first time you install a TotalView permanent/subscription license. In some cases, the license server and TotalView reside on the same system. However, you can install them on different systems, as long as the license server system is a platform that TotalView supports.
The license server should reside on a machine that is reliable, always running, and a permanent part of your local network. And, most importantly, it must be accessible. For example, do not place it on the other side of your firewall.
NOTE: The license server must be installed on a supported platform. In particular, because TotalView doesn’t run on Windows, a license server cannot be on a Windows system. See the
TotalView Platform Guide for specifics.
If you already have a license server in your network, you should not include your TotalView license with the other licenses managed by that license server. If you must combine license servers, consult the RLM, FNP, or FNE documentation.
