File Menu
The functions in the File menu permit you to load and save the tokens file used by the Licence Manager. The default name of the tokens file is ssilm.tok. It is located in the share\etc directory. The File functions also permit you to import an Update Tokens File (.udt) file.
Note: You can use tokens files with different names, but the file must
reside in the share\etc directory. Also, Licence Manager can use only one tokens file at a time.
Tip: You can test changes to the tokens file before implementing the changes to the live environment using the Save As function.
New
When you use this function, Licence Manager creates a tokens file in the memory of the computer. You then add licences tokens to this file.
Note: To save the new tokens file, choose File > Save.
When the Licence Manager is installed as a service for the first time, Licence Manager creates the default tokens file share\etc\ssilm.tok. As a result, this function is rarely used.
Open
You use this function to open a tokens file and load the contents of that tokens file into Licence Manager. When Licence Manager starts, it automatically loads the default tokens file share\etc\ssilm.tok. You also use this function to load an Update Tokens File (.udt). The .udt file allows you to add and update tokens that exist in your Licence Manager.
You use this function only when you use a tokens file that is not named ssilm.tok, or when you are importing an update file.
Note: GEOVIA does not recommend that you use a tokens file named anything other than ssilm.tok in a live environment.
Save
You use this function to save the current tokens file to the computer. After you save the tokens file, the Licence Manager server reloads and then reconfigures itself to use the changes from the tokens file.
You edit the tokens file using one of the following functions:
- Edit > Properties
- Edit > New Token
- Edit > New Class
After you edit the tokens file, you must save it so that the licence server process is able to recognise the changes.
Note: If the licence server process does not recognise the changes, you might have to restart the Licence Manager server to serve the licences correctly. To stop the license server, use (Service > Stop), and then to start the server use (Service > Start).
Save As
You use this function to save the current tokens file with a different name.
You edit the tokens file using one of the following functions:
- Edit > Properties
- Edit > New Token
- Edit > New Class
After you edit the tokens file, you must save it so that the licence server process is able to recognise the changes.
Tip: You can use this function to add new tokens to a different tokens file as a test before implementing the changes to the ssilm.tok file and live environment.
