The license server provided for Phoenix is Sentinel RMS server 8.x. It is avail-
able for download when Phoenix is purchased. The download link for the license
server is included in the email sent to new Phoenix customers.
It is also located on the Phoenix installation CD in the directory Tools\Sen-
tinel RMS License Manager Installer.
Sentinel RMS server 8.x is backwards compatible with WinNonlin 5.2.1, and can
be used to provide floating licenses for WinNonlin 5.2.1, Phoenix WinNonlin
6.0, and Phoenix Connect 1.0.
The license server provided with WinNonlin 5.2.1 is based on Sentinel RMS
server 7.
CAUTION: Phoenix can use the older license server, but version 7 DOES NOT support
commuter licenses or redundant license servers.
Mass deployment of license configuration files
IT personnel can configure Phoenix on one system and then copy the license con-
figuration files to every Phoenix installation. This allows IT personnel to config-
ure one instance of Phoenix to use a local license server, and then copy the
configuration files to every Phoenix installation in the network.
The three license configuration files are:
– licensing.licenses.configuration.binconfig
– licensing.server.configuration.binconfig
– licensing.service.configuration.binconfig
By default, the files are located in C:\Documents and Set-
tings\<username>\Application Data\Pharsight\Phoe-
nix\Configuration in Windows XP and
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Pharsight\Phoe-
nix\Configuration in Windows Vista.
License Management
The License Management screen allows users to see which license types are
available and acquired, as well as the different plug-ins they allow users to
access.
