Upgrading the license manager

If you have a previous version of the license manager installed, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Go to the directory in which you installed the old license manager.
  2. Copy the lservrc file. On Windows, look in the winnt subdirectory.
  3. Save the lservrc file to a safe location.
  4. If any users have checked out commuter licenses, make sure those users check the licenses back in. See the topic Configuring commuter licenses for information about obtaining a list of checked out licenses.
  5. Shutdown the license manager. See the topic Starting and stopping the license manager for more information.
  6. Unininstall the old license manager. See the topic Uninstalling the license manager for more information.
  7. Install the new license manager. For information about installing on Windows, see the topic Installing the license manager on Windows . For information about installing on UNIX/Linux, see the topic Installing the license manager on non-Windows systems .
  8. Copy the saved lservrc file to the directory in which you installed the new license manager or the winnt subdirectory of the installation directory on Windows. If you accepted the default location on Windows, check the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\WinNT folder.
