Using your organization's Reprise server
<projects_root>/licenses
directory or the appropriate directory of your organization's license server.To use your organization's Reprise license server instead of the license server packaged with Validate, the following requirements must be met:
- For Validate 25.1 or later, your organization is using RLM 16.1.
- You must configure Validate and the Reprise license server to work together, and you must put your Validate license file in the right place.
To run the license server on a different host than Validate (for example, if you are running multiple Validate servers), you can download the standalone RLM license server from Support Downloads.
To set up Validate to use your organization's Reprise server:
- Copy the Validate licensing daemon to the directory where the Reprise ISV daemons reside on the machine hosting your Reprise server. The Validate daemon is located as follows:
Unix:
<Validate_install>/3rdparty/bin/prqa
or<rlm_install>/bin/prqa
Windows:
<Validate_install>\3rdparty\bin\prqa.exe
or<rlm_install>\bin\prqa.exe
- Copy the license file (with the extension .lic) that you received from Perforce Customer Support to the appropriate location in the Reprise directory structure.
- If necessary, change the default port number (27000) of the Reprise server in the license file:
- Open the license file in a text editor.
- Edit the port number at the end of the first line of the license file.
Here is a sample first line from a license file: SERVER server01 00g006084466 27000
In this example, you would change 27000 to the port you want to use.
- Save and close the file.
- Use the Reprise
rlmreread
utility to force the license manager daemon (rlm) to read the Validate license file and start the Validate ISV daemon (validate). See the Reprise documentation for details on usingrlmreread
. - Configure the host names and ports for all of the Validate Servers.
- Start the Validate Server.
To change the ISV daemon port, see Changing the vendor or ISV daemon port in your license file.
