License Server Setup | Astah Professional and UML Floating License

Thank you for purchasing Astah Floating License!
Our Floating License uses the Reprise License Manager (RLM) for license management.
Customers who don’t have RLM will need to set up the license server. If you already have it, click here.

System Requirements

The RLM server can be installed on a following Windows or Linux machine.

Windows (64bit)
Linux (x86-64)

Reprise does not publish hardware requirements. Though, they provide a performance evaluation tool that you can use to see how many checkouts per sec. a machine will handle..etc.

1. Download

Click the button below to download the setup-kit.

If you have the RLM running for other programs already

Download the kit from the link above and extract it. Locate the following two files – the ISV (Independent Software Vendor) files – in the same folder where your existing RLM is installed.

cvastah.exe or cvastah
cvastah.set (ISV serve setting file)
cvastah.opt (ISV options file) : Please specify the path to the output directory if necessary

Attention

Astah works with RLM v12.3. If your RLM is older than that, updating to v12.3 is recommended.
Use the same port number to retrieve licenses for all the programs you manage on RLM.
ISV of your existing program needs to be compatible with RLM v12.3. RLM we use for Astah is based on SDK called _w4, so your ISV needs to be created with _w3 or _w4.

2. Install License Server

Choose your platform to install the License Server.

Installing on Windows

Make sure that you are logged in as an Administrator
Extract the folder you downloaded into the C:/Astah/Reprise
Run register_service.bat as an Administrator
After completing the registration, set the License Manager to run as a service

Installing on Linux

Extract the folder you downloaded into a directory like /opt/rlm/
Set a launch Daemon

On sysvinit

Find the cvastah_sysvinit.sh that is included in the folder you downloaded. Customize it to make the RLM start on launch Daemon by locating it in the /etc/init/d…etc. Make sure you specify a non-root user in the startup script.

On systemd

Refer to the cvastah_systemd that is included in the folder you downloaded. Locate it in the systemd unit file directory such as /usr/lib/systemd/system/rlm.service…etc.
After deploying the file, run commands below to relod the systemd and launch RLM.

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start rlm

Run the following command to let the RLM launch automatically.

systemctl enable rlm

License Registration

After you complete setting up the license server, let’s get the host ID that is required when registering the license.

1. Access RLM web interface

Start your web browser and open http://<Hostname>:5054.
This is what the RLM web interface looks like.

2. Get Host ID

Click [System Info] from the left menu of the RLM web interface
It shows the system information. Copy the Ethernet value which is the Host ID you will need when registering the license. If it shows several values, copy the first 12-digit string.
