Installation of the private License serverInstalling the private License Server in Windows OS is complete. The License Serverserver web interface is available at https://127.0.0.1:444/ (see Logging in to the License Server web interface).

Possible issues

Connection error

Axxon PSIM can fail to establish a connection with the License Serverserver. This is due to the network-level connection blocking.

In this case, we recommend disabling the firewall on both the Axxon PSIM computer and the License Serverserver computer.

Make sure that port 443 isn't occupied by another process.

Windows Server Error

It is possible that the Windows Server cannot work together with the IIS (Internet Information Services) process. In this case, we recommend stopping the process before running the License Serverserver:

iisreset -stop

HTTP and HTTPS protocols

HTTP

To use the HTTP protocol on another port instead of port 80, do the following:

1. Contact an AxxonSoft manager and get the new keyfile.zip keys package that must contain:

   • Certificate: ngp.licserver.crt

   • Private key: ngp.licserver.key

   • Server key: server.license.key

   • Client key: license.key

2. Replace the keys and generate a new .bat file in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMS\VMS License Server\keys folder.

HTTPS

To use the HTTPS protocol on another port instead of port 443, do the following:

...

• Certificate: ngp.licserver.crt

• Private key: ngp.licserver.key

• Server key: server.license.key

• Client key: license.key
