License Server Troubleshooting

Overview

Troubleshooting the License varies slightly depending on the operating system on which it is installed. To account for these variations, information is divided into 3 sections: General, Ubuntu, and Windows.

General

  • Open Terminal in Linux.

  • Type docker exec -it <container id> /bin/bash, then press Enter.

  • Type ping <IPAddress of License Server Host>, then press Enter.

  • If the message "The host is unreachable" is the response, the network is not set up correctly; please contact Customer Support for assistance.

Can the License server be reached using the browser?

  • Open a web browser on a machine that can see the License Server network.

  • Type <IPAddress>:35797/getLicenseList, then press Enter.

  • The expected responses are either “[]”, or “[with license information here]”

  • Any other results indicate that the License Server is not installed or your network or is not configured properly; please contact Customer Support for assistance.

Are there any licenses installed?

  • Open a web browser on a machine that can see License Server network.

  • Type <IPAddress>:35797/getLicenseList, then press Enter.

  • The expected response is “[with license information here]”

  • If you receive "[]" then no licenses have been installed.
