Setting Up a Floating License Server for Keysight Licenses
Technical Overviews
Introduction
This document provides instructions for setting up a license server that enables you to install Keysight floating (network) licenses in a central location and use them to enable Keysight products.
You’ll use one of two methods to set up your license server:
- Recommended and easiest: Proceed to the next section to use the Keysight Floating License Manager.
- If you have already set up floating licenses using the Flexera tools, or if you require more control than is provided by the Keysight Floating License Manager, proceed to the section Use Flexera Tools to Set Up a License Server.
Be aware that these two methods work differently. The Keysight Floating License Manager stores the location of the license server in the client system’s registry; the Flexera tools require the use of product-specific environment variables. Do not mix these two methods on the same system.
