Upgrading the CLC License Server

When upgrading from an earlier version of the CLC License Server, the general steps are:

• Stop the old license server process running.
• Install the new CLC License Server in a new location, following the installation instructions for the relevant platform.
• Install the licenses, following the instructions for downloading license files for the relevant platform.

  Alternatively copy the old license files, usually this is from within the licenses folder of the old CLC License Server installation area, into the licenses folder of the new installation.

  If upgrading the CLC License Server around the time of a major release of the CLC analysis software, we recommend downloading new license files.

• If you have customized the licenseserver.cfg file in the earlier CLC License Server release, then either copy that file into the installation area of the new CLC License Server or edit the new licenseserver.cfg file.

  When upgrading from CLC License Server 3.6.1, we recommend that you read and keep a copy of the new licenseserver.cfg file as it contains more information about possible configurations than earlier versions of that file.

• If you were previously running the CLC License Server as a service, check that the service configuration is correct.

  When upgrading on Linux: If the service is configured under SystemV, check that the clclicsrv script under /etc/init.d has the correct information for the upgraded installation. If changing from using SystemV to systemd for handling the CLC License Server service, ensure that you remove any earlier SystemV configuration files from /etc/init.d.

• Start up the new CLC License Server following the instructions given for the relevant platform.
