AVEVA License System Console

The AVEVA License System Console, or ALS Console, is a tool that allows the system administrator to manage AVEVA licenses. The system administrator is not to be confused with the AVEVA License Administrator (who supplies licenses) or the end user (who consumes licenses).

If the system administrator is unfamiliar with the ALS, an explanation is provided. Refer to AVEVA Licensing System for further information.

The ALS consists of two separate license servers that run cooperatively. Due to the complexity of configuring the separate license servers so that they can operate together, a dedicated utility has been provided called the AVEVA License System Console.

The AVEVA License System Console is an easy-to-use general user interface that can be used to perform tasks such as license file installation and stopping/starting the license system.

While it is possible to manually configure the ALS by directly editing configuration files, AVEVA strongly recommends that only the AVEVA License System Console is used to administer the ALS.

The AVEVA License System Console is installed as part of the ALS installation. Refer to AVEVA Licensing System Installation Guide for further information.

To launch the AVEVA License System Console, select Start > AVEVA > AVEVA License System Console.

The AVEVA License System Console consists of two tabs:

• Manage Licenses: allows you to install license files and product entitlements, view individual license files.

• Manage Licensing System: allows you to query the server status, start and stop the license servers, view log files and edit the license server configuration.
