A license pointer file is a text file (ending in .lic) used in floating license models that tells Syndeia software where to find your floating license server.

This file is not distributed by Intercax but is created by the Syndeia admin/end user.

Step 1: A template license pointer file (named FloatingPointerFile.lic.template) is included in the Intercax License Server (ILS) download - intercax_license_server_v15.1BL1_install.zip. Unzip intercax_license_server_v15.1BL1_install.zip.

Step 2: Open the license/FloatingPointerFile.lic.templatefile.

Step 3: The contents of the file follow the syntax format below (<…> indicates required parameter, […] indicates optional parameters):

Step 4: Before you make changes, save a copy of the file with a name specific to your org and with .lic extension, e.g. MyOrg_Syndeia_License_Pointer_file.lic.

• On line 1, replace <license server hostname/FQDN or ip address> with the FQDN of your Intercax License Server. See examples below.

• On line 1, specify the default port (5053) or another port if you have configured for RLM on the Intercax License Server. See examples below.

• On line 2, specify a port for the ISV if you have configured for RLM on the Intercax License Server. See examples below.

• Save the file to persist the changes made above.

Step 5: After modification, your license pointer file should appear as below. Please verify.

• Example 1: myLicenseServerHost.mydomain.com is used on RLM port 5053 and the default ISV port 5055

• Example 2: 192.168.0.111 is used on RLM port 5555 and ISV port 5656

• For the Syndeia Cloud server, the license pointer file should be located in the web-gateway folder under license sub-folder after deployment or upgrade of Syndeia Cloud server.

  • For new Syndeia Cloud installs, refer to Step 3 of Deploy Syndeia Cloud section here: https://intercax.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SYN36/pages/3330187755/Automated+Deployment+Linux#Deploy-Syndeia-Cloud-(SC)

  • For upgrading Syndeia Cloud 3.6 SP1 → 3.6 SP2, refer to Step 4 here: https://intercax.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SYN36/pages/3973873665/Upgrade+3.6+SP1+-+3.6+SP2#Install-SC-3.6-SP2-in-upgrade-mode.

• For the Syndeia local clients (Cameo / Rhapsody plugin and Standalone), this is usually placed in your home folder under .syndeia (ie: on *NIX OSes ~/.syndeia, on Windows: %UserProfile%\.syndeia)

  • For Syndeia Cameo plugin, refer to Step 7 here: https://intercax.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SYN36/pages/3330093162
