Configuring the Sage license server

What is a server?

Changing the license server

You can change the specified location of the license server. For example, if there is a hardware failure or you buy a new server, you will have to specify the license server the next time you launch Sage Estimating.

Note: When you change the license server, you need to specify the new license server on the computer you are using as the license server and on each workstation that runs Sage Estimating.

To change the license server:

  1. Start the Configuration wizard.

    Click the Configuration Wizard tile on the Start menu, or right-click outside the tile area, and then click All apps > Sage > Configuration Wizard.

    Important! You may need to elevate your permissions before starting the Configuration wizard. On the Start menu, right-click Configuration Wizard, and then select Run as administrator.

  2. In the navigation pane of the Configuration Wizard, click Licensing.

  3. In the right-hand pane, select the Connect to a remote license server option, and then click [Specify remote server].

  4. In the Specify License Server window that opens:

    1. In the Computer box, enter the name of the computer on your network that is running the license server.
    2. In the Port number box, ensure that the port is set to 48650.
    3. Click [OK].

Note: A green check mark appears beside the Licensing item in the navigation pane if you connected to the license server successfully.
