Appendix K: The License Administration Application
The License Administration web application is used to install new licenses, view
installed licenses, and view the License Server log.
The License Administration application requires a browser to run. Web browsers
that are supported are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. Refer
to the B.A.S.I.S. ET release notes.rtf file on the root of the B.A.S.I.S. ET Third
Edition CD for which specific versions are supported. The License
Administration application is accessed through your web browser: simply point
your browser to http://LICENSESERVERHOST:9999, where
LICENSESERVERHOST is replaced with the name of the machine the License
Server is running on. 9999 is the default port the License Server listens on for
administration tasks, and should be left as is unless you have modified the
configuration of your License Server to listen on another port.
The username/password combination that the License Administration application
uses is separate from the username/password combinations that the other
B.A.S.I.S. applications use. There is only one valid username/password, which is
admin/admin by default. For security reasons, you should change the username/
password combination after you have initially logged into the License
Administration application.
Important: The License Server MUST be running whenever you wish to use the License
Administration web application. If the License Server is not running, the
License Administration web application will not run.
Note: In order to use the License Administration application, “cookie” support
must be enabled in the browser.
License Administration Procedures
Starting the License Administration Application
1. Make sure that the License Server is running. (For more information, refer to
Determining if the License Server is Running on page 250.)
2. Click the Windows Start button, then select Programs > B.A.S.I.S. ET >
License Administration.
3. If your browser has JavaScript support enabled, a new window will open
with the License Administration application in it.
Otherwise, follow the directions in the browser’s window and click the
hyperlink to continue. The License Administration application will then
open in the same browser window.
