Dell NetWorker 19.11 Licensing Guide
Set up the served license file
The license file that you obtain from Dell Licensing contains information about the license entitlement type (a Capacity or Update Entitlement), whether the license is served, and, if applicable, the License Server configuration. Dell Licensing populates the file with this information after you provide the details and requirements for your environment. It is recommended that you do not edit the license file. Doing so can corrupt the file, which makes it unusable by the License Server and the NetWorker Server.
Prerequisites
It is recommended that you obtain the license file before you install the License Server. When using a served license and you install the License Server before obtaining the license file, record the server hostname/IP and port number because you must provide this information to Dell Licensing to populate the file with these details. Any random ports of NetWorker server will initiate a connection to the static ports of ELMS server that are defined in the served license file. By default, the static port for ELMS server is 27000 and VENDOR EMCLM port is 27001. You must ensure that these ports are opened in the ELMS server.
Steps
- If you have not already obtained the license file from Dell Licensing, contact Dell Licensing to obtain the file.
A license file with a Capacity Entitlement looks similar to the following example for a served license.
Figure 1. Sample license file with Capacity Entitlement 
- When using a served license, create a directory in the location where you installed the License Server.
For example, on the License Server, create the following directories:
- On Windows: C:\Program Files\DellEMC LicenseServer\elms\licenses
- On Linux: /opt/dellemc/licenses
NOTE:On Linux, you might be required to complete this step before you install the License Server package. - Copy the license file to the License Server directory that you previously created. Do not rename the license file. To apply the license in the NetWorker server, follow the steps in the section

NOTE:If you use FTP on Linux, ensure that the file permissions do not change.
