Introduction

License Server is available as a self-deployed distribution or as a web archive that can be deployed to your Tomcat server (see Installing License Server). 

About License Server 5.4.3 and Older

All files for License Server 5.4.3 and older were installed into in a single directory, but the current version of License Server installs into two main directories:

...

License Server includes the PSTSecConfig.xml file, which contains configuration settings for the User Administration module. 

License Server 2020.1 and later ships with a single PSTSecConfig.xml in the <LS_DATA_DIR>/conf directory.

...

If you made changes to either or both PSTSecConfig.xml files for License Server 5.4.3 or older, you will need to make corresponding changes in the single PSTSecConfig.xml file after upgrading.

   • <TOMCAT>/LicenseServer
   • <TOMCAT>/webapps/pstsec/pstsec
   • <TOMCAT>/webapps/pstsec/conf
2. Delete the following items from <TOMCAT>/webapps directory:
   • licenseserver.war file
   • pstsec.war file
   • licenseserver subdirectory
   • pstsec subdirectory

   • <TOMCAT>/work/Catalina/localhost/licenseserver
   • <TOMCAT>/work/Catalina/localhost/pstsec
4. Copy the new licenseserver.war and pstsec.war files into the <TOMCAT>/webapps directory and start Tomcat.
