4. At the end of the installation, the License Administrator app will open. Choose Use License Server and please configure it as follow:

Connect to a License Server Using a Text File
If the software was installed silently, or if you are running it headless, you can alternatively set up a text file on the machine to connect to licenses on a License Server.

To create the text file:

Create a plain text file that contains a reference to the License Server URL. Format the text as follows:

http://licsrv.lpl.arizona.edu:4080

Save the file as lic_server.dat.

Copy the file to the license subdirectory located under the INSTALL_DIR. The file should have read privileges for all product users.

Examples using the default installation directory locations:

Windows: C:\Program Files\INSTALL_DIR\license\lic_server.dat

Linux: /usr/local/INSTALL_DIR/license/lic_server.dat

Mac: /Applications/INSTALL_DIR/license/lic_server.dat

To remove the machine's connection to the License Server, delete the lic_server.dat file.
