Linux Headless Network License Activation
Category: Bladed Installation and Setup
Problem
Is there a way of headlessley activating a network license for a linux bladed installation (without opening the license manager webpage and clicking through to allowing network connectivity to the license server)?
Solution
This can be done by modifying /etc/hasplm/hasplm.ini (based on Ubuntu 18.04). This is likely to be the same for other distributions.
The values you’ll be interested in on the server side are:
[SERVER]
ACCremote = 1
Adminremote = 1
accessfromremote = 1
And on the client side:
[SERVER]
accesstoremote = 1
[REMOTE]
serveraddr = [name or IPv4 addr of the licence server]
