1. Deploy a new standard Windows 2012-R2 x64 image on a physical or virtual machine (VM) or install from a Deployment Kit unattend.txt script or install from media manually.

2. Setup forward & reverse DNS records on your DNS server (consult your IT admin/sysadmin if required) and set the hostname and primary DNS suffix on the machine itself if necessary (see Appendix B2.1)  
   

   If using a firewall, ensure the following ports are accessible (consult your local network admin if required): TCP ports 5053, 5054, 5055 (or the alternates you selected, see Pre-reqs Required to Generate a License, step #3 for more details).  

   Note: If required by your IT department, perform any other standard configuration (ie: create a separate admin account with a strong password, set timezone, date & time or set it to synchronize with an NTP server, etc.)

   , server hardening (ie: disable default administrator logins, change default remote port (ex: RDP), install anti-brute force attack prevention software (ex: IPBan, RDPGuard), enable & configure local firewall, etc.

3. If using a firewall, ensure the following ports are accessible (consult your local network admin if required): TCP ports 5053, 5054, 5055 (or the alternates you selected, see Pre-reqs Required to Generate a License, step #3 for more details).  

4. Unzip the floating license server directory provided to you at any location on your computer, e.g. %ProgramFiles%\Intercax_License_Server_Win64.
    Note, you may wish to either delete or suffix (rename) FloatingTemplate.lic to FloatingTemplate.lic.disabled to prevent rlm from parsing this during startup since this is just an example template for the client-side, ie:  sudo mv FloatingTemplate.lic{,.disabled} -OR- sudo rm FloatingTemplate.lic
5. Copy the floating license server file you obtained from Intercax to this directory.  

6. If you didn't provide a hostname, edit the license file received by changing "localhost" to the hostname of your RLM License Server (LS):  
    If specifying different ports, you will need to set those here too, ie:  replace <RLM_port> and <ISV_Intercax_port> with the alternate port(s) you have selected (  Do NOT edit anything else or it will invalidate the license):  
   

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark linenumbers true
   HOST localhost <MAC_address> <RLM_port> ISV intercax port=<ISV_Intercax_port>

   
   

7. Open a command prompt and follow the steps below to start the license server.
   1. If you are using the default port 5054 for the web server, type rlm to start the license server, e.g:
      
      
       Note, to specify an alternate webserver port, if port 5054 is in use by another application, start rlm via rlm -ws <alternate_ws_port> instead, e.g. rlm -ws 50054


8. It is recommended to install the license server as a Windows Service to auto-start upon boot. To do this, go to http://<your_server_name>:5054/home.asp and click on the Manage Windows Service menu button on the left hand pane and follow the instructions provided.
   
   
   
    Note, to specify register the new RLM LS web sever service with an alternate web server port if 5054 is in use, fill in the Webserver port field.
