Firewalls
If a firewall exists between your server and client, you will need to specify ports in both the HOST line and ISV line of the license file and open those ports on the server in order for the client machines to obtain licenses. You will also need to create an empty options file in the same folder as the rlm.exe file with the name aptech.opt. Use Notepad or another plain text editor to create an empty file and save it with that name in the same folder where the GAUSS and RLM executables are located.
In the license file, add the port you are opening for the license manager RLM at the end of the HOST line.
In the ISV line add aptech aptech.opt and the port you want the vendor daemon to use to the end of the line. This tells RLM what port to use for the vendor daemon and what options file to use with it. For example, if the executables for rlm and gauss.exe and the aptech.opt file are all in the gauss13 folder and you want the license manager and vendor daemon to use ports 10000 and 21000 respectively on a server named GAUSSSERVER, the first two lines of your license file would look something like this:
HOST GAUSSSERVER 0000123456ab 10000
ISV aptech aptech aptech.opt 21000
If you’ve placed the files referenced in the license somewhere other than the same directory where the executables for RLM and GAUSS along with the license are located, include the full path in the ISV line:
On Windows:
HOST GAUSSSERVER 0000123456ab 10000
ISV c:\folder\aptech c:\folder\aptech c:\folder\aptech.opt 21000
On Linux and Mac:
HOST GAUSSSERVER 0000123456ab 10000
ISV /folder/aptech /folder/aptech /folder/aptech.opt 21000
