DS-Operator F1 Help for GUI (Context-Sensitive) : DS-License Server
 
DS-License Server
The DS-System must validate its license from a DS-License Server. For more information about the License Server, refer to the DS-License Server User Guide.
 
Production License Server
License Server (IP/DNS)
IP address or DNS name of the DS-License Server.
• The DS-System will validate its license from the DS-License Server.
• IMPORTANT: The DS-System must always be able to connect to the DS-License Server. You can configure an alternate Emergency License Server to avoid single-point-failures.
TCP Port
This is the port the DS-System will use to communicate with the DS-License Server.
• The default is 4417. Do not change this unless you have a specific requirement to do so.
Verification Interval
The DS-System will verify its license with the DS-License Server at the specified interval (in minutes).
Emergency License Server
License Server (IP/DNS)
IP address or DNS name of the Emergency DS-License Server. The DS-System will validate its license from this alternate DS-License Server if:
• on startup of DS-System server / daemon, the Production License Server is not accessible; or
• during operation, the DS-System fails to validate its license with the Production License Server at least once during the “Failover Period”.
TCP Port
Same as above for Production License Server.
Failover Period
The amount of time (in minutes) that must elapse from the first failed verification with the Production License Server, before the DS-System switches to the Emergency License Server to validate its license.
• This period must be at least two (2) times the length of the “Verification Interval” to allow at least two attempts to validate from the Production License Server before failover.
