Steps to Upload the VCG in On-premise for Windows
- Download the VCG (it will be in .exe format).
- Open the Local FNO installed directory in your machine.
- Copy the VCG kit downloaded in step 1 and paste it in the folder
C:\Program Files\FlexNetOperations\components\wildfly\standalone\deployments\flexnet.ear\flexnet-data\site\bin - Restart the FNO server.
- Follow the below steps to configure the VCG in the FNO UI.
- In the FlexNet Operations Producer Portal, click Administer > License Generators.
- Click Add a License Generator Configuration.
- From the License Technology drop-down, select FlexNet Publisher Licensing Toolkit.
- View or change the values of the following settings. Required fields are indicated with an asterisk.
- Once the VCG is configured, create a product in FNO and deploy it for testing by choosing the license generator as the one uploaded from the drop down as shown below.
NOTE: Use Node locked counted license model as we are testing for certificate-based license.
- Create an entitlement for the product created in step 6.
- Activate the entitlement created in step 7.
- Generate the license as shown below
If the license is generated successfully, then the VCG is successfully working.
On-premise
- Vcg kit is uploaded to directory
C:\Program Files\FlexNet Operations\components\wildfly\standalone\deployments\flexnet.ear\flexnet-data\site\bin(folder name might vary depending on the FNO installation directory) and publisher.xml is uploaded toC:\Program Files\FlexNet Operations\custom\x64_n6\bin\for x64 Windows. - VCG kit upload is good enough for certificate based licensing whereas publisher.xml has to be uploaded additionally for trusted storage based licensing.
- A restart of the server is required for the changes to be reflected in the UI.
