Adding a Server

Adding a server to the StarLicense Manager allows you to configure it with license keys, control the service, configure failover services, and monitor the license activity. You can manage the local computer, or you can connect to and manage remote StarLicense servers. To manage a StarLicense server, you must be logged in to the computer as a user with administrator rights. If you are not already logged in to a remote computer, StarLicense Manager presents a login dialog before it connects to the computer.

To add a server to the StarLicense Manager console,

  1. Click the Add Server button button on the Toolbar, or select Connect to Server from the File menu.

  2. In the StarLicense Configuration dialog, select [LOCAL MACHINE] if the license service is running on the local computer, or type the name or TCP/IP address of a remote computer that is running the StarLicense service.

After you click OK, the name of the computer appears in the left pane and you can configure the license service with the keys appropriate for the StarQuest products your organization has licensed.
