Local License Server Administration Tool

Use the Local License Server Administration Tool to manage licenses for client devices connected to a Local License Server. You can quickly add and remove licenses on the server as well as recover GE licenses from clients.

Functionality

The Local License Server Administration Tool consists of the following tabs to help you manage licenses and perform server operations:

  • Licenses: View, add, remove, and reserve licenses.
  • Connected Clients: View client devices leasing GE licenses, and recover licenses from these clients for use by other clients.
  • Server Operations: Edit server connection settings, refresh licenses, clean license information on the server, and view the server configuration.
  • Complete Offline Activation: Activate, refresh, and return a license for an offline computer.
  • More Actions: View the Local License Server error and access logs as well as configure logging for the Local License Server Administration Tool.

You must be an administrator to perform most of the Local License Server Administration Tool operations. Without administrative privileges, you can only view licenses and client devices leasing GE licenses on a local host sever. You cannot access the other Local License Server Administration Tool operations.

Note: For Common Licensing 18.4 and higher, you must use the Local License Server Administration Tool to manage your server. The Proficy Server Manager is no longer available.
