Our new license code is in the format "5ee56d99-f3a7-427e-bde8-e382cd20220a". This means we need the SDL Licensing Manager. Do you know if it can coexist on the same server with the Nalpeiron "Licensing Server Toolkit"? I read in the documentation of Studio 2015 that it is possible, but not recommended.
Thank you - Bruno

Hi Walter
So I installed the SafeNet Licensing Server. I then searched for a guide or help file how to setup the license server and enter the license code, but couldn't find any docu on the SDL website. Could you please give me a hint where to find it? Appreciate your help - Thank you

- I just found it by googling - It must be here http://producthelp.sdl.com/SDL_Licensing_Help_2015/client_en/Activating_a_Network_License/Set_Up_the_License_Server_Manager.htm

But it doesn't help much... I cannot find out where the activation code can be entered. Only the WlmAdmin and wechoid tools appear.

In the customer account in which you see your license, you should also see the download fro the License Server. It looks like this:

If you click on the link "SDL Licensing Help" you'll find all the explanations you need.

The installer should have installed two or even three programs, as you can see here:

The only one you need to launch is the "SDL License Server Manager". It is a very simple and intuitive program, which will ask you to enter the activation code and the number of seats you want to activate (allwoing you for example to split the seats of a network license among two different license servers). Once you have done this, it will automatically configure the "SafeNet License Manager" accordingly.

You don't need to run the two other tools at all.

However, once you are in production, the "SafeNet License Manager" may be useful because it allows you to see which clients are logged on and use one of the licenses in the pool.

After installation of the SDL License Server Manager, I only have two executables installed:

The funny thing is, if I launch SDL License Server Manager, not the expected simple program starts, but the wlmadmin tool. Something is completely wrong here. FYI: We installed it on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine.

Please make sure you installed the latest version (SDLLicenseServerManager1_244.exe).

The "SDL License Manager" looks like this when you launch it:

You can download the installer here.

Uninstall the current one before you run the installer.

Hi Walter

I've uninstalled the 'old' version (which I downloaded yesterday from the official SDL Download page), and installed SDLLicenseServerManager1_244.exe.

After that three executables were displayed in the programs menu, as you wrote above. So we came one step further which is good.

But when I launch SDL License Server Manager, the program starts but nothing can be seen on the screen. The task manager shows that this process has been started:

Hmmm.... Any idea to that? - Bruno

The next problem is, that the activation code is not valid. We bought licenses for Passolo, but it seems that the key depicts a Trados Studio license.

Has anybody experienced the same issue?
