Licensing

In this step, specify whether the Chaos License Server runs locally or on another machine.

If you select Remote licensing, you have to enter the IP address of your Chaos License Server in the Primary License Server field. Leave port 30304 unchanged. An Alternate License Server can be used for redundancy in case the primary one does not respond. The License Server will not install when the Remote option is selected. When Local licensing is selected, the Chaos License Server is installed with Vantage.

For information about the advanced Chaos License Server installation settings, visit the Advanced Installation page.

Chaos License Server Options

At this step, you can choose where to install the Chaos License Server.

Migrate data during installation – When enabled, it transfers all of your settings made with older versions of the License Server, such as proxy settings, etc. Disabling this option makes a clean install of License Server with any custom settings from previous installations reset to their defaults.

Add firewall exception – Allows the default licensing port (TCP 30304) in the firewall. If you disable it at this step, you must manually add firewall exceptions later. This option is available for Windows OS only.
