Saving License (.slip) Files

After you receive licensing information in a license certificate email, you need to install the license server and host the licenses. This involves accessing a Micro Focus web site and downloading license files called .slip files as described here.

From the Micro Focus web site using the link in the license certificate email, download all of the ZIP files containing the .slip files per the instructions provided on the web.
Copy each concurrent_.slip/named_.slp file into your C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\StarTeam Server <version>\License directory.
Copy each server_.slip file to C:\Micro Focus\BLS4\conf.
Note: BLS4 folder name might change depending on the version of License Server that you are using. Also, if you are using FLEXlm instead of Borland License Server, the files might need to be installed elsewhere. Check your FLEXlm server documentation.

When the StarTeam Server starts, it checks for slips and stores information about them in memory. It does not recognize new slips until the next restart.

Once the slips have been placed in the \License folder and the StarTeam Server has been restarted, the User Manager in the Server Administration Tool can display information about the slips and an administrator can assign licenses from those slips to users.
