Start Altova LicenseServer

Home Prev Top Next

In order to use MobileTogether Server (MTS), it must be licensed with an Altova LicenseServer (ALS or LS) on your network. LicenseServer must be running continuously as a service in order for MTS to run. Stopping License Server will also stop MobileTogether Server. If this happens, you will need to first restart License Server (how to do this is described in this chapter) and then restart the stopped MobileTogether Server (see next topic).

 

Starting and stopping Altova LicenseServer

Start and stop LicenseServer as follows:

You can start LicenseServer via the Altova ServiceController, which is available in the system tray.

 

First, click Start | All Programs | Altova LicenseServer | Altova ServiceController to start Altova ServiceController and display its icon in the system tray (see screenshot below). If you select the Run Altova ServiceController at Startup option, Altova ServiceController will start up on system start and its icon will be available in the system tray from then onwards.
