To set it up, launch the SEI License Server.exe package.

  1. Run the application SEI License Server.exe and click Next.

  2. In the License Agreement screen, click I accept the terms in the license agreement and click Next.

  3. Select your Database Server: SQL Server or Oracle and click Next.

  4. In the Database Type Selection screen, select a Location for the database files. Select the Server Defaults option so that the database server can load the files in its default location, OR click Change... to choose the appropriate location and click Next.

    SQL Server

    Oracle

    Note

    If the installation fails with the error "Some files name listed could not be created", run the package again and verify:

    • When the Server Defaults checkbox is ticked, it indicates that there are already BI License database files in the Server Default location that must be deleted.
    • Otherwise, the user account that the database instance is running under does not have permission to write into the desired path, which means you must change its permissions or choose a different location.
  5. In the Database Server screen, enter the Administrator credentials of the database server.
