StarLicense for UNIX is a license server for Stelo products, including StarSQL. A client uses TCP/IP to connect to the server to obtain a product license. The client may be an application running on the local or another UNIX system, an application running on a Windows system, or a Java application running locally or remotely.
Setting up a StarLicense server allows centralized management of the licenses and allows an organization to take advantage of floating licensing available for client computers running Stelo software.
The following topics are addressed in these Release Notes. Refer to the Quick Start Guide to Using StarLicense for UNIX for detailed information about installing StarLicense Server for UNIX for the first time, and refer to the StarLicense Server for UNIX User's Guide for detailed information about using the StarLicense Server for UNIX software.
