Reprise License Manager (RLM) Administration Bundle - Multiple Systems
######################################################################

IMPORTANT NOTES:
================

Because you can install RLM server on a Windows, Mac or Linux machine to serve licenses to machines
running other OSes, our package includes the RLM server for all the systems.

INSTALLATION:
=============

1. Install Reprise License Manager (RLM).

   There are no installers, you just have to unpack the archive to the location of your choice.

2. Once you have installed RLM, you need to add some vendors files.

   A vendor package is typically composed of the following files:

   <vendor_name>.set
   <vendor_name>.opt

   These files represent the RLM license server for the vendor.
   The "opt" file is optional and so it's not always present.

   <vendor_name>.lic

   The main license file that unlock the vendor's softwares.

   Vendor packages for Windows also contains 2 custom scripts:

   <vendor_name>_rlm_install_service.cmd
   <vendor_name>_rlm_uninstall_service.cmd

   They are used to install/start and stop/remove the RLM service
   for a specific vendor.

   Just right click on the script file and select "Run as Administrator".

3. To install a new vendor, typicall steps are:

   1. Copy vendor's files (set, opt, lic, cmd) in RLM directory.

   2. Edit the license file "<vendor_name>.lic" in
      a raw text/code editor like Notepad, Text Edit or VIM.

      On the first line, replace <HOSTNAME> and <HOSTID>
      with the hostname and RLM hostid of the machine
      you are running the RLM server from.

      If the hostname and hostid values are set to "localhost"
      and "ANY" then you don't need to change these values.

      On Windows you can run the included script "rlm_info.cmd"
      to display your computer's hostname and hostids.
      Your hostid is the first value of the hostids list.

   3. Some vendors require more step, like setting a client license file.
      When that's the case, instructions are included in a text file
      with the vendor's files.

4. Start RLM as command line or install it as a service.

5. While RLM is running you can access the Web administration panel.

   Open your Web browser and access the URL: 127.0.0.1:5054

   The defaults credentials for login into the Web administration
   panel are:

     username: rlm_admin
     password: Adm!n-2o24

   They are stored in the file "rlm.pw".

   You can edit this file with a raw text/code editor like
   Notepad or VIM.

   The user name can be changed directly in the text editor.

   The password is encrypted and need to be changed from the
   Web administration panel.

   You should **really** change the default user and password
   for obvious security reason!

6. Enjoy this nice release!
