Configuring the License Server
Sentinel RMS Development Kit license server is a program that coordinates the use of a protected application by multiple users and computers. This program usually runs on a computer that is located on the same subnet as any computer that needs to run the application. The computers that run the application are called clients. When a protected application is started on the client, it sends a request for a license across the network to the license server. The license server grants the request if possible and returns an authorization message back to the client.
Note: A license server program need not run on a file server system or any specific hardware server. Any computer that meets the requirements is acceptable. Realistically, a system running on Pentium Processor 3, 550 MHz and having 128 MB RAM is a good choice for measuring stress data.
Application use is authorized by license codes. Each license server is provided with a license file that contains one or more license codes.

You generally add license codes to the license file by using the lslic utility.
