# lservnt - Starts the License Manager

lservnt starts the License Manager and sets various License Manager options.

Setting lservnt Options Using the Windows System Services Console

On a supported Windows system, use the following steps:

1. From the Start menu, point to Settings > Control Panel.
2. Double-click Administrative Tools.
3. Double-click Services.
4. In the Services window, locate Sentinel RMS Development Kit License Manager and double-click it.
5. Stop the License Manager (service, if running already).
6. Set the parameter(s) in Start Parameters. For example, -s mylicensefile -l myusage.log -f mytrace.log -tr 7 will have the following result:
7. mylicensefile will be searched by the application for the license code. Any new licenses added to the RMS License Manager will be added to this license file.
8. myusage.log will be created containing all the License Manager usage information (such as, the license server start, shutdown, license request, and license release).
9. mytrace.log will be created containing the License Manager trace logs. Level 7 enables the functions, keys, and errors trace logs.

The Windows Service Controller ignores the double quotes (“ ”). So, do not use double quotes while setting options, else these will be ignored. For example, if you specify -f aa"aa, then it will be interpreted as -f aaaa.

7. Start the License Manager after providing the settings.

See the screen-shot below for an example.
