On UNIX

The SlmServer command starts a license server that handles license requests. By default, the server runs as a daemon process.

During startup the SlmServer must know the:

  • TCP/IP port it has to listen on [default 6005].
  • Mode it has to start in; master or slave [default master].
  • UDP port to listen on for broadcast messages {default 6005].

This information can be specified as parameters with the SlmServer command, or through the configuration file. If this information is not specified the SlmServer falls back on the default behavior.
