• If you have Axxon One installed on your computer, you must dedicate a separate computer to install the License Server. You cannot install the License Server together with Axxon One.
  • 443 port must be open.

To install the private License Server in Linux OS, do the following:

  1. Create an activation request (see Creating an activation request).
  2. Contact an AxxonSoft manager to get the necessary license-server.deb package and the keyfile.zip key package for the private License Server.
    The keyfile.zip key package contains:
    1. Certificate: ngp.licserver.crt
    2. Private key: ngp.licserver.key
    3. Server key: server.license.key
    4. Client key: license.key
  3. Copy the license-server.deb package, received from an AxxonSoft manager, to the Downloads folder.

  4. Install the private License Server:

    sudo dpkg -i license-server.deb


  5. Make sure that there is a LEASE_ACCOUNTER_TLS_AUTH_ENABLED=true variable at the /etc/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/ path in the license.conf configuration file. If the variable is missing, run the following command:

    sudo nano /etc/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/license.conf


  6. Unzip the keyfile.zip archive, received from an AxxonSoft manager, into the keyfile folder:

    sudo mkdir keyfile & unzip keyfile.zip -d keyfile


  7. Go to the keyfile folder:

    cd ./keyfile/


  8. Add the ngp.licserver.crt certificate and the ngp.licserver.key private key to the /etc/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/ directory:

    sudo cp ngp.licserver.crt ngp.licserver.key /etc/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/


  9. Go to the LicenseServer folder:

    cd /etc/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/


  10. Restart the License Server:

    sudo systemctl restart license


  11. Go to the /etc/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/ path and add the server.license.key to this directory:

    sudo cp server.license.key /etc/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/


  12. Restart the License Server:

    sudo systemctl restart license


    As a result, two files will be located at the /var/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/keys path: server.license.key and a key named as the system ID.


  13. Delete the server.license.key from the /var/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/keys directory:

    sudo rm /var/AxxonSoft/LicenseServer/keys/serv\ license.key


  14. Activate the Client license.key on all Axxon One Servers in the domain using the activation utility (see Activation by applying license file)

    As a result, two files will be located on all Axxon One Servers in the domain at the /opt/AxxonSoft/RaFT/data/Nodes/default/Tickets/path: Client license.key and ngp.ca certificate.
