License

Seoul Robotics' SENSR is a licensed software and can only be operated with a valid license. Therefore, it is necessary to go through the steps below before launching SENSR-I. If you need a new license, you can contact license@seoulrobotics.org.

Install and Activate License Server

info

If you have an ATS kit (LPU with SENSR pre-installed), you may skip this procedure.

The License Server reads the validity of the license file and the available functions listed inside. It then shares its status with the SENSR instance.

Steps

You can install the License Server using the SR Launcher. Follow steps below.

1. Enter the command below.

   sr-launcher-cli run install license-server

2. Enter the hosts' password and wait for the license server to be deployed.
3. Put the license file in the directory /opt/seoulrobotics/licenses The instructions on getting a license file can be found here.
4. (Optional) Check license server is running fine by accessing http://<Master-Node-IP-Address>:9011 through web browser. You can see the page as below.

For your information, if you follow all the steps above in a sequential order, the License Server is running normally, but SENSR cannot be executed because a valid license file does not exist under /opt/seoulrobotics/licenses/. Follow next step.
