			   Step 4: Setup Licensing

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

EnlightenDSM software is licensed using FLEXlm technology. All components are
installed in the "FLEXlm" sub-directory on the EMD host.  For EnlightenDSM to 
operate, a license file which contains a SERVER line, a VENDOR line, and a 
minimum of three license strings must be provided. The total number of license 
strings will depend on the number of remote hosts being managed and the vendor 
supplying the license strings.

For the basic operation, EnlightenDSM requires the following three license 
strings: One license string for the GUI, a second license is required to run 
the GMS, and a third required license to run the Administration Agent. A 
typical installation will have multiple agents, requiring additional multiple 
agent licenses. Also note, all licenses for the EnlighenDSM components, 
including local and remote agents, are stored in the license file named 
"license.dat" which always resides in the FLEXlm sub-directory on the EMD host. 

The License window allows you to create, update and edit a license.dat file.
The license file created in this step will be installed during Step 5. This 
window contains the following fields and toggles:

License File:
Use this toggle to specify whether to Install, Upgrade, or Don't Install a 
license file. Selecting the Upgrade option will allow you to modify an 
existing license file. When upgrading, retrieve an existing license file 
by pressing the 'Get License File' button.

EMD Host:
Use this field to specify which host is the EMD server.

EMD Install dir.: 
Use this field to specify the full pathname to the EMD installation directory.

Root Password:
Use this field to specify the root password of the EMD host.

Get License File:
This button is only available if you have selected to Upgrade an existing 
license file. Press this button to retrieve the existing file so you may make 
your edits.

The scrolled text field in the bottom of the window is used to enter the license
information. Please enter the license string information exactly as it has been
provided for you by your EnlightenDSM vendor. For your convenience, default 
SERVER and VENDOR information is automatically provided for you. You must still
enter the multiple license keys provided to you by your EnlightenDSM vendor.
