Upgrading the License Server¶

Offline Environments Online Environments

While an upgrade is in progress, the License Server will be offline. Current PCoIP sessions will not be affected, and existing users will still be able to establish PCoIP connections. New users and connections that do not already have validated licenses will be unable to connect until the upgrade is complete.

Check the location of the .jks file before upgrading the license server

If you enable HTTPS, ensure that the .jks file is not placed under the /opt/flexnetls/TERADICI/ folder, which may be overwritten by future upgrades, as described here. You may save the .jks file to another location before upgrade.

Upgrading the License Server in an Offline Environment¶

To update the HP Anyware License Server on an offline machine, obtain a new installer and run it in place. You do not need to uninstall first. Follow the instructions for Installing HP Anyware License Server in an Offline Environment.
