Moving RLM Files

If you want to move a floating license key to another directory you need to shut the license server down first, if it is running. You then need to edit the startup scripts to look in the new location and restart the license server.

On Windows

1.   First, stop the license server if it’s running. See Managing the License Server for more information.
2.   Click Start, type regedit, and then press Return on your keyboard.
3.   Open the hierarchical structure HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > Foundry License Server:

4.   Move down the Registry as shown and select ImagePath.
5.   Assuming your licenses are in C:\tmp, insert this into the path as shown:

"C:\Program Files\The Foundry\LicensingTools(Undefined variable: Custom.Version (short))\bin\rlm.foundry.exe" "-c" "C:\ProgramData\The Foundry\RLM;C\tmp" "-ws" "4102" "-dlog"

"C:\ProgramData\The Foundry\RLM\log\foundry.log" -service

Note:  Semi colons are used to separate license directories on Windows.

6.   Quit regedit.
7.   Restart the license server. See Managing the License Server for more information.

On Mac OS X

1.   First, stop the license server if it’s running. See Managing the License Server for more information.
2.   Open /Library/LaunchDaemons/uk.co.thefoundry.rlm.plist using a plain text editor.
3.   Replace these lines:

<string>-c</string>

<string>/Library/Application Support/TheFoundry/RLM/</string>

With this, assuming your license is in /home/licenses:

string>-c</string>

<string>/Library/Application Support/TheFoundry/RLM/:/home/licenses</string>

4.   Restart the license server. See Managing the License Server for more information.

On Linux

1.   First, stop the license server if it’s running. See Managing the License Server for more information.
2.   Open /etc/init.d/foundryrlmserver using a plain text editor.
3.   Replace this line:

FnLicDir=/usr/local/foundry/RLM

With this, assuming your license is in /home/licenses:

FnLicDir=/usr/local/foundry/RLM:/home/licenses

4.   Restart the license server. See Managing the License Server for more information.
