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.
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.
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.
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.) - Unzip the license server zip file into an applications directory.
