%META:TOPICPARENT{name="OplmgrLicenseLocations"}% = License Manager Usage Notes for Windows = The default and suggested locations of OpenLink License files varies depending on the operating system in use and License Manager version. %TOC% == Determining the Installed Version of the License Manager == The License Manager ({{{oplmgr.exe}}}) on Windows is installed in {{{%windir%\oplmgr.exe}}} and runs as a Windows service. The OpenLink License Manager is installed in the Windows system directory ({{{%WINDOWS%}}}) and run as a Windows Service which is automatically started on Windows boot. %BR%%BR%%BR%%BR% The License Manager can also be started and stopped manually using the {{{oplmgr /[start | stop]}}} commands, or through the Services or Component Services control panels (generally found in the Administrative sub-directory). The version of {{{oplmgr.exe}}} can be obtained by right clicking on the executable and checking the {{{Details}}} tab and will be something like {{{1.3.5.1}}}. == Location of License files == The OpenLink License Manager uses only Windows Registry string values to specify the folders to be searched for license files, in the following registry key location: {{{ \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ OpenLink Software\ License Manager\ License Directories\ }}} The OpenLink installer creates the initial string key value, based on the chosen installation directory. The default installation directory for the OpenLink Data Access drivers is {{{C:\Program Files\OpenLink Software\UDA\}}}, so the default registry key is: {{{ uda = C:\Program Files\OpenLink Software\UDA\bin\ }}} The default installation directory for OpenLink Virtuoso is {{{C:\Program Files\OpenLink Software\Virtuoso X\}}}, so the default registry key is: {{{ virtuoso = C:\Program Files\OpenLink Software\Virtuoso X\bin\ }}} === Special Considerations on 64-bit Windows === The binary installed to {{{%windir%\oplmgr.exe}}} matches the bitness of the first installer you ran, so either the 32-bit or 64-bit {{{oplmgr.exe}}} may be present on your system. You can confirm the bitness of this executable by inspecting it with [[http://www.dependencywalker.com/|Microsoft's Dependency Walker]] If you install 32-bit software on 64-bit Windows, the Registry settings go into the Wow6432Node branch -- {{{ \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Wow6432Node\ OpenLink Software\ License Manager\ License Directories\ }}} -- and the default keys become -- {{{ uda = C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenLink Software\UDA\bin\ virtuoso = C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenLink Software\Virtuoso X\bin\ }}} Th 64-bit License Manager will not see these 32-bit settings, and the 32-bit License Manage will not see the 64-bit settings above. Therefore, for best results in environments where you have both 32-bit and 64-bit OpenLink components installed, we recommend creating a shortcut from the 32-bit location to the 64-bit location (or vice versa), and putting all license file into that single directory; then, it will not matter which License Manager runs, as all licenses will be found. You may also choose to have all Registry keys point to a single filesystem directory, into which you place all license files. In this case, we recommend the directory be -- {{{ C:\Program Files\OpenLink Software\Licenses\ }}} == Related Documentation == * [[MTFirewallConfiguration | Firewall Considerations for Multi-Tier "Enterprise" Edition Data Access Drivers]] * [[ConfigureServer-sideFirewallsForMulti-TierConnectivity | Configuring Server-side Firewalls for Multi-Tier Connectivity]] * [[OplmgrNetworking | OpenLink License Manager Networking Considerations]] * [[ConfigureMulti-TierRequestBrokerForUseOnMachinesWithMultipleNetworkCards | Configure Multi-Tier Request Broker for Use on Machines with Multiple Network Cards]] * [[OplmgrStopStart | Start the License Manager Process]]
