How to delete a license from a License Server?

Modified on Mon, 2 Mar at 11:12 AM

Foreword


When you use Network License mode, it might be necessary to delete licenses previously added. 

This is done with a program named License Manage Administration, also known as Wlmadmin.


Prerequisites

  • You have installed the license server.
  • You have prepared WlmAdmin program on a computer that has network access to the license server.
    The license server itself is the simplest choice.
    WlmAdmin is part of the Sentinel RMS Tools package.


SentinelRMS x.y.z-WlmAdmin package can be downloaded from the Download page


Procedure

From the license server, or from any computer in the same network:

  • Start WlmAdmin.
  • Find the server (if necessary, add it to the defined server list). 
  • Find the license feature name.
  • Find the license.
    You can check the current state and the start and end date if there is more than one license for the same license feature name.
  • Click on Remove License and confirm.

A confirmation message should be displayed, and the deleted license should not be visible in the left pane.



Alternative

License server configuration is saved in a text file named "lservrc"

Its default location is

Sentinel RMS 10.2
%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\Thales\Sentinel RMS License Manager\WinNT
Sentinel RMS 9.6
%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\WinNT

So, you can also, after stopping the relevant service, edit the file, and restart the service.
