24 Installing vFabric Suite
The installer program is called vFabric_License_Server-version.exe.
Procedure
1. On the same Windows computer on which you are running vCenter Server, login as the Administrator user (or user with
administrator privileges) if you have User Account Control (UAC) enabled. If UAC is disabled, you can login as any user.
2. Double-click the vFabric License Server installer program from Windows Explorer to start the installation. After preparing
the installation, the vFabric Welcome Screen appears.
3. Continue clicking Next to accept the license agreement and view where the installer will install the vFabric License Server.
You cannot change the location of the vFabric License Server, which is a Web application and thus must be located in the
webapps directory of the vCenter Tomcat instance.
4. Enter the credentials of the vCenter user who has the appropriate privileges to register the vFabric License Server as an
extension. At a minimum, the user must have the following vCenter privileges:
• Extension.Register
• Extension.Update
By default, vCenter users with the Administrator role have all these privileges, although you might have customized the
users and roles for your particular environment, so check with your vCenter Server administrator. See Authentication and
User Management for information on assigning vCenter privileges.
Click Next to continue. The installer program performs the required validations and other tasks.
5. Enter the login ID and password of the database user, and select the ODBC data source (DSN) that you created as a
prerequisite to this procedure.
6. Click Install to proceed with the installation. The installer program installs the vFabric License Server, showing you a status
of the installation as it performs its tasks.
