You will be given a zipped folder contain the floating license server and a license file. Follow the steps below to setup your floating license server on a new machine.  

1. Deploy a new standard RHEL/CentOS7, headless image on a physical or virtual machine (VM) or install from a Kixstart 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.  

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). 

   Note: If required by your IT department, perform any other standard configuration (ie: create separate admin account, set timezone, date & time or set it to synchronize with an NTP server, etc.), server hardening (ie: disable root logins, change default SSH port, installing Fail2Ban, enabling & configuring local firewall, etc.)  
   
   

4. Unzip the license server zip file into an applications directory.

   1. $ sudo unzip Intercax_License_Server_Lin64.zip

5. Copy the floating license file you obtained from Intercax to the directory Intercax_License_Server_Lin64.
6. Change the file mode to make rlm and rlmutil executable.
   1. $ cd Intercax_License_Server_Lin64/
   2. $ sudo chmod 550 rlm
   3. $ sudo chmod 550 rlmutil
7. Start the license server with the following command
   1. $ cd Intercax_License_Server_Lin64/
   2. $ sudo nohup ./rlm -ws 5054 -dlog rlm.log &
8. To stop the license sever, and kill the rlm and + intercax processprocesses
   1. $ ps -ef|grep rlm
   2. $ ps -ef|grep intercax
   3. $ sudo kill -9 ${rlm_pid}
   4. $ sudo kill -9 ${intercax_pid}
   Change firewall settings to open the following ports. If non-default port numbers are used, open those ports instead.
   1. 5053 (license server)
      1. This port number is specified on the first line of the floating license file, e.g., HOST localhost ether=000000000000 5053
   2. 5054 (web server)
      1. This port number is set by the -ws option when running rlm, e.g., -ws 5054.  This port is used by the web server/client to check the license server status
   3. 5055 (intercax service)This port number is specified on the second line of the floating license file, e.g., ISV intercax port=5055
