Install Tricentis License Server via setup dialog

This topic offers a step-by-step guide on how to install License Server via setup dialog.

Before you start

Make sure that your machine has the required versions of the following software:

• Microsoft® .NET Hosting Bundle (64-bit)

• Microsoft® Visual C++ Redistributable package

• Oracle Java Runtime Environment or OpenJDK

Then, set the system variable JAVA_HOME in your Java installation.

Follow the installation process

To install your license server, follow these steps:

1. Copy the file Tricentis License Server<version number>.msi to a folder of your choice. Then, double-click the file to open the setup dialog and select Next to start the installation.

2. Specify the installation directory and select Next.

   By default, the wizard installs the License Server in C:\Program Files\TRICENTIS\Tricentis License Server. If you specify a different directory, the wizard creates the folder Tricentis License Server in that directory. Select Next to continue.

3. Select if you want to install Tricentis License Usage Statistics, then select Next.

4. Select Online mode if you want your server to have internet access, or Offline mode if not. Define the Port for the license server instance. The default port is 7070. Select Next to continue.

5. Specify the admin Password.

   Note that the password must meet the following requirements:

   • At least 8 characters and up to 64 characters

   • At least one digit

   • At least one upper-case character

   • At least one lower-case character

   • At least one special character

   • No empty space

   For more information on supported special characters, check out this Knowledge Base article (opens in new tab).

   Note that the administrator account you create during the License Server setup always has the username admin. You can create more administrator accounts after the setup with no username restrictions.

   Confirm the password and select Next.

6. Configure the Tricentis License Usage Statistics service:

   • Specify the Port to connect to the service. The default database port is 7071.

   • In the Data retention section, define how long you want to keep your data. By default, the database keeps your data for 365 days.

   Select Next to continue.

7. Specify the following storage directories:

   • The Trusted Storage, where License Server saves sensitive data, such as activated licenses and server user accounts. The path to this directory cannot contain empty spaces. By default, the path is C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\flexnetls.

   • The Tricentis License Usage Statistics database. By default, the path is C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\TRICENTIS\LicenseUsageStatistics.

   Select Next to continue.

8. Select Install to run the installation. Once the installation is completed, you can select View Log to view the setup log file. Select Finish to close the setup wizard.

Specify the setup log file location

If you want to save your setup log file in a specific directory, you need to run the GUI installer via the command prompt.

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Copy the file Tricentis License Server<version number>.msi to a folder of your choice.

2. Open the command prompt and browse to the folder that contains the file Tricentis License Server<version number>.msi.

3. Enter the command msiexec /l <logfile name> /i "Tricentis License Server<version number>.msi" and replace <logfile name> with the name you want to set for your log file.

4. The GUI installer opens. Select Next to start the installation.

5. Follow the instructions of the setup dialog.

6. Select Finish to close the installer.

   The setup creates the log file in the same directory where you copied the installer.
