Setting up Floating License Server with no ui

There are couple of ways to setup a Floating License Server. One of them is to setup with no-ui, that is to setup the Floating License Server manually by editing the configuration file to specify the port to which clients machine will be connected, and putting the floating license key to the proper folder.

Windows NT/XP/2000/2003

  1. Decompress the No-Install version of the floating license server application.
  2. Copy %floating_license_server_application%/bin/vpLicenseServerConfig-sample.xml and paste it into the same folder as the original. Rename the new file as vpLicenseServerConfig.xml.
