-; '''-l,&lt;num&gt;,&lt;days&gt;,&lt;log&gt;''' : Number of log files, how many days between switches, and filename format string. A typical value for this argument would be '''-l,4,7,hlserver-%d.log''', meaning use 4 log files, switching after a week, and cycle between <b> hlserver-0.log</b>, <b> hlserver-1.log</b>, <b> hlserver-2.log</b> and <b> hlserver-3.log</b>. +

-[[Image:HLServer-serv2.jpg|right|thumb|Figure 3. headus Floating License Server]]+
-# Copy '''sample-hlserver.conf''' into '''hlserver.conf''' and edit to suit your network setup. <br><br> +
-# Copy '''sample-hlserver.ini''' into '''hlserver.ini''' and edit the command line args to suit your setup (see explanation of command line args above). Most people should be able to get by with the defaults. <br><br> <B><font face=helvetica>Note:</font></B> if you don't move '''hlserver.conf''' from the installation directory, then you don't need to define a '-c' config file location. <br><br> +
-# Run '''Start -> Programs -> headus License Server -> 1) Install service'''; the first time you do this you'll get a "License not found" type error. Email the 5 rows of hex numbers to your vendor to get your license strings. <br><br> +
-# Once you get your licenses, run '''1) Install service''' again, and answer "y" to the edit keys file question. Paste the license keys provided into the '''keys.txt''' file, and save it. <br><br> +
-# Run '''1) Install service''' one more time, but this time you should get a "service installed" message. <br><br> +
-# Run '''2) Start service''' to open up the Services control panel (see Figure 2). <br><br> +
-# Double click on '''headus Floating License Server''' to bring up the '''Service''' window (see Figure 3) and select '''Automatic,''' then '''OK''', so that hlserver restarts whenever the system is rebooted. <br><br> +
-# Click on the '''Start''' button to start hlserver. <br><br> +
-# Run '''3) Run HLManager''' to check that hlserver is running OK, and that the licenses have loaded correctly. See [[HLServer: The Manager|The Manager]] for details. +
- +
-Users should now be able to access the license server from others+
-systems on the local network.+
- +
-== Updating the Server - Windows NT/2K/XP ==+
- +
-If you already have +
-'''hlserver'''+
-installed, but need to install a newer version, follow these steps:+
- +
-# If '''hlserver''' is currently running, first inform your users that you are stopping the floating license server, and that they should save all their work. Applications using floating licenses will exit when '''hlserver''' is stopped. <br><br> +
-# Run '''4) Stop service''' to open up the Services control panel; right click on '''headus Floating License Server''' and select '''Stop''' to stop hlserver. <br><br> <B><font face=helvetica>Note:</font></B> If you have an old version of HLServer, with no Start menu options, use "Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Services" to open up the Services control panel. <br><br> +
-# Run '''5) Remove service''' and you should get a "service removed" message. <br><br> <B><font face=helvetica>Note:</font></B> If you have no Start menu options for HLServer, open a command shell window and remove the service by running '''hlserver -remove''' <br><br> +
-# Run '''6) Uninstall software''' to remove the old executables, leaving your config files untouched. <br><br> <B><font face=helvetica>Note:</font></B> If you have no Start menu options for HLServer, use the system control panel's "Add/Remove Programs" to uninstall the old version. You will most likely have to move your old config and keys files into the new install directory too; by default its different to the older installs of HLServer. <br><br> +
-# Run the new '''ihlserver.exe''' file to install the new software. <br><br> +
-# Run '''1) Install service''' and '''2) Start service''' to get the hlserver service installed and running. +
- +
-Users should now be able to access the new license server.+
