Section 1.3, License Management Tasks , describes the tasks involved in managing Advanced Server licenses and the features of the License Manager that allow you to perform these tasks. The License Registrar also grants server-based licenses. See Chapter 5, Client Licensing Software , for more information about the client licensing software. The organization of these components is shown in Figure 1-1, Advanced Server Licensing System . Figure 1-1 Advanced Server Licensing System Client requests license assignment or verification.
Client establishes new session with file server.
File server requests to validate that the client is licensed for access to file server resources. License Registrar validates a client's license or assigns a server-based license. This can be a standalone system or an OpenVMS Cluster and does not necessarily have to be on the same system as the Advanced Server. The Advanced Server License Server is an interface between the LMF database and the client licensing software. It services requests for client-based licenses.
