This section provides instructions for deploying License Server for Linux x64 and Windows x64.

Installing the Self-Deployed License Server Distribution

To install the self-deployed License Server distribution:

1. Extract the contents of the installation package to any location. The <LS_INSTALL>/app directory includes the JRE, Tomcat, and scripts for starting and stopping the server.
2. Run the startLS script as an administrator to launch License Server. The application will run on the Tomcat server shipped in the installation package.
3. Open a browser and go to one of the following URLs to access the License Server interface:
   • http://<HOST>:8080/licenseserver 
   • https://<HOST>:8443/licenseserver 
4. Log into License Server using the default username and password (admin/admin). We recommend changing the default once you log in.

Installing a License Server Windows Service

In addition to installing the self-deployed License Server distribution as described above, you can also install a Windows Service for the License Server.

...

To remove the service, run the uninstallLSService script in the <LS_INSTALL>/app directory as an administrator.

Configuring Tomcat to Log User Information with Requests and Responses

If you are upgrading from License Server 2022.2 or earlier, you can configure Tomcat to log user information along with each request and response. This is necessary for some users to be in compliance with certain regulations. This is unnecessary for new installs of License Server 2023.1 or later.

...

Standard Tomcat access log parameters are supported. See https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-910.01-doc/config/valve.html#Access_Logging for more information.

These logs can be found in the localhost_access_log<DATE>.txt file located in the <LS_INSTALL>/app/tomcat/logs/ directory.
