7.7. Update FLM server

[Note]Note

Password assignment when saving licenses is mandatory under the GDPR.

In principle, the following applies:

  • The change to V12 does not require an update of the FLM server.

  • The server is compatible with old clients (protocol did not change basically)

  • If the server is updated to V12, then for administration only a V12 client should be used. Old clients should be avoided in general.

    • Old clients would not request a server password when saving/creating the cluster. In this way one could circumvent protected access to the server. That's why it is not supported anymore.

    • In addition, the old PARTadmins do not check whether the licenses are correct for the cluster, which happens when clicking on Save.

In order to update the FLM server, do the following:

  1. Stop running FLM service: Close license server via Start/ Control panel/ Services/ CADENAS FLM (MASTER).

  2. Remove service from Control Panel: Remove the service via Windows Start Menu -> Add or Remove Programs -> CADENAS FLM Server -> Uninstall.

  3. Delete the files: You can now delete the files from the hard disk. The license should be backed up beforehand if it is still being used.

  4. New installation: See ???.
