Teamcenter is a business platform and so it is inevitable to install related license server before install Teamcenter server. What’s more, the interface of SPLM license server has been modified greatly from Teamcenter 10 on. So the post comprises how to install and administrate license server.
1) Installation

b) Choose the folder to install license server
c) Choose a license file. BTW, if you use demo license, it is necessary to modify license file prior to installation.
d) Summarize installation info
e) Finish installation successfully.
So after finishing installing license server, let’s begin to administrate it.

b) Stop service

c) Check the status
What’s more, you can check port 28000 to verify the license status.
