How to Install a Standalone License Manually

Solution

NOTE: Please attempt to use the License File Installer before trying to install the license file manually. The License Installer will install the license seamlessly and will let you know if there are any issues with your file. Reference the Software License Manager (SLM) License File Installer KB Article for instructions.

To manually install and configure your standalone license file for aspenONE V9 and higher;
 

  1. Rename.delete any old and/or expired license files in the Aspentech Shared folder

    • (64bit OS) C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Aspentech Shared and C:\Program Files\Common Files\Aspentech Shared

    • (32bit OS) C:\Program Files\Common Files\Aspentech Shared

    • Rename/delete any old and/or expired  *.slf or *.lic files in these folders to *.slf_old or *.lic_old

  2. Copy the license file you wish to install to:

    • (64bit OS) C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Aspentech Shared and C:\Program Files\Common Files\Aspentech Shared

    • (32bit OS) C:\Program Files\Common Files\Aspentech Shared

    • The license file must have a .SLF extension and its name must begin with "lservrc_", for example, lservrc_004_3BC4F.SLF. 

 
Configuring your standalone license file:
  1. Run the SLM Configuration Wizard.  Go to: Start | All Programs | AspenTech | Aspen SLM | aspenONE SLM License Manager, then click the Configure button to launch the SLM Configuration Wizard.

    NOTE: For some operating systems you may have to execute the aspenONE SLM License Manager using the 'Run as Administrator' option. The application writes entries into the Windows Registry, and Administrator privileges are required for this.

  2. Once the SLM Configuration Wizard appears, expand the Advance Settings tab and verify that Ignore local keys is unchecked.
