Installing Your License Software and Enabling Your Licenses

A single script, lic_install, installs your license software and starts the license install tool (lit) which is used to enable your licenses. If you have more than one license server, you must use the following procedure on each license server.

Verifying That Licensing Was Set Up Correctly
