Starting the license server

Windows

It is recommended that you install the license server as a Windows service. When the Windows computer is started, the license server starts automatically.

If the license server is installed as a Windows application, it must be started manually. Make sure the server is running before starting the license server admin utility.

  1. On the Start menu, choose Programs > Seapine Software > Seapine License Server > Seapine License Server.
  2. The server starts. When the Seapine License Server is running, an icon is placed in the status area on the taskbar of the server computer.

Unix

The license server must be started before the Surround SCM server or the TestTrack Pro server.

  1. Make sure you are in the directory where startup scripts are located.
  2. Typically this is either the /etc/init.d directory or the /usr/bin directory.

  3. To start the server as a daemon, enter ./spls start
  4. To start the server in the foreground, enter ./spls foreground
  5. Note: If there is a problem connecting to the server make sure the server computer is on and the license server application is running. Also, double-check the IP address and/or port number.

Mac

The license server must be started before the Surround SCM server or the TestTrack Pro server.

  1. Start the System Preferences and click Seapine License Server.
  2. Click the lock on the Start/Stop tab to make changes.
  3. Make sure the server is started. You should also select Start Seapine License Server when this computer starts up to automatically start the server.

  4. Click Save.
