4. Using Licenceactivator to Implement the IBM SPSS
Concurrent Licences
To implement the IBM SPSS Concurrent licenses for the SPSS products you purchased, open an Administrator Command prompt. During the licensing procedure your server must be connected to the internet. Please note that the License Manager version can manage concurrent licenses for all current SPSS products that require a license, including older releases, for example IBM SPSS Statistics 24 and 23, AMOS 24 and 23, or Modeler 18 and below.

1. On command prompt change directory to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SafeNet
Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\WinNT\
2. Use licenseactivator <your 20 digit authorisation code> as in example below and press
enter:
After successful use of the licenseactivator, please create an environment variable LSERVOPTS on your server where you can define how many of your concurrent licenses can be checked out as commuter licenses. A value of -com 50 means that 50% of your available network tokens are available as commuter licenses. The value -l "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\slm_log.txt" means that a usage log file is created in the installation directory. LSERVOPTS -com 50 -l "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\slm_log.txt"

2. Select Sentinel Licence Manager and click on the “Restart” button on the top left. WlmAdmin tool is displaying licences correctly.

Checking Daemonhost- Can the client PC see the licence server? Go to the below file path and run “spssprod.inf”: C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\25 The Daemonhost will give you the IP address of the server
Please run the Command Prompt (cmd) from the client machine and ping the server, i.e. run command prompt (cmd[Symbol]ping <IP address or name> This is to check which server the client machine is linking to (Screenshot below)
