Quickstart
Connect a license server to Vantage in under five minutes.
Pick a hosting model
Choose Vantage-hosted (Vantage manages the server) or User-hosted (you run it on your infrastructure).
Set up the license server
Follow the server-specific guide for your license type: FlexLM, RLM, LMX, LS-DYNA, DSLS, or OLicense.
Register it in Vantage
In the left sidebar, click Licenses, then select Configurations. Click Add License Server. Enter the server details: type, hostname, port, and any required credentials.
Success looks like this: the license server is registered and appears in the license manager, ready to serve licenses.
Test the connection
Vantage pings the server to verify it's reachable. If it fails, check firewall rules, license servers typically use specific ports per vendor.
Submit a job that uses it
Configure your job script or template with the license feature name. Vantage checks out the license from the connected server before the job starts and releases it when the job completes.
License checkout happens automatically, you don't need to add anything to your job script beyond the #SBATCH directives your application already requires. Vantage handles the checkout and release based on the license server configuration.
