Deployment

A Qualitia license server is required as part of the Qualitia License installation. License manager uses concurrent licensing policy. A license server should be a Windows system on the network which should be up at all times.

Identifying Qualitia License Server

This server will host the Qualitia license server and licenses are to be mandatorily activated on this system. This server should be continuously running and accessible. The operating system supported is only Microsoft Windows. The license server system should have the port 1947 open.

Installing License Server

This license server enforces product use terms as per the license purchased by you. The license server has its own portal which is available at the URL: http://localhost:1947.

Ensure that the haspdinst.exe is whitelisted in your virus checking software (AKA anti-virus software).

The haspdinst.exe is provided by Qualitia with Qualitia Automation Studio setup.

Run the following command from a command prompt (the command prompt should be run as administrator):
haspdinst.exe –i
This command installs the license server on the machine.
To verify the installation, open a browser and enter the URL: http://localhost:1947
You should be able to see the Sentinel License Manager portal.
