Setting Up A Corso License Server

A license server can be set up to serve licenses to users of this product. You will require the file Corso License Server.zip. The Corso license server use Flexera FlexLM licensing technology.

This license server may also reside on an existing IBM Rational FlexLM license server. In this case you should use a different port to that which System Architect is using. The port SA uses by default is 27000 so we would recommend using 27001. In this case you can edit your license file, follow the instructions in the section “Changing the Port Number in your license file”.
