Setting up a Network License Server on Linux

It is recommended that a network/system administrator be responsible for downloading, deploying and configuring the Servidor de licencias de red Bricsys. The server then distributes license seats.

Downloading and installing Servidor de licencias de red Bricsys

  1. Download Servidor de licencias de red Bricsys (Linux) from here.

    The Servidor de licencias de red Bricsys contains a custom RLM server and the Gestor de licencias de red de Bricsys. See more information in the Bricsys Network License Server - Release Notes.

    Important: A default user with the username admin and password admin is created. You must change the default password, otherwise the license server will automatically shut down in 10 minutes. See also the Setup RLM login article.
  2. Extract Bricsys-NetworkLicenseServer-V1.1.0-1.tgz to any folder (Terminal: tar xvzf Bricsys-NetworkLicenseServer-V1.1.0-1.tgz -c <path>).
  4. Go to that folder and start the Reprise License Manager (RLM) application (Terminal: ./rlm).
    Note: If the ./rlm execution fails due to permissions, try running sudo chmod u+x rlm to give execution permissions to the RLM file.
  5. Change the default password of the RLM login (username: admin and password: admin), otherwise the license server will automatically shut down in 10 minutes.
    • Go to the RLM web UI (localhost:5054).
    • Log in with the default credentials.
    • Click the Change Password button in the left-side menu and create a new password.
  6. Create the RLM system service using the steps outlined in the Readme.txt file in the installation folder.
  7. Run the launcher (Terminal: ./NetworkLicenseManager.sh). The Gestor de licencias de red de Bricsys opens, and you can activate or update your network license key.

    Troubleshooting: If you encounter an error on Ubuntu 22.04 when starting the Gestor de licencias de red de Bricsys, install the extra package libxcb-cursor0 (Terminal: sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0).
