Installing the PCoIP License Server

To get up and running quickly with the PCoIP License Server in an online (internet-connected) environment, follow these instructions.

Caution: Don't install more than one type of license server on the same machine

The PCoIP License Server 2.x cannot be installed on the same machine as the PCoIP License Server 1.x or an NVIDIA GRID License Server.

To install the PCoIP License Server:

  1. SSH into your License Server machine.

  2. Install wget:

    sudo yum install wget

  3. Configure the Teradici yum repository:

    sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/pcoip.repo https://downloads.teradici.com/rhel/pcoip.repo

  4. Install the license server:

    sudo yum install -y pcoip-license-server

  5. Set the PCoIP License Server administrative password:

    sudo pcoip-set-password

    The default system password is 1P@ssw0rd!, where the leading 1 is a numeral one and 0 is a zero.

    Change the default password immediately

    Until the default password is changed, commands can be issued to the license server without your knowledge.

    Info: Password Rules

    Passwords must conform to the following rules:

    • Must be between 8 and 30 characters long
    • Must contain at least one lowercase letter
    • Must contain at least one uppercase letter
    • Must contain at least one digit
    • Must contain at least one symbol, excluding ' (single quote), " (double quote), \ (backslash), and spaces.

  6. Configure your firewalls:

    • Configure your corporate firewall to block all incoming external connections. The PCoIP License Server does not need to accept incoming connections from the outside internet.
    • Configure the PCoIP License Server machine’s firewall to allow incoming TCP connections, from PCoIP agent subnets, on port 7070. PCoIP agents will use this port to check out licenses from the PCoIP License Server.
    • Open port 443 to outgoing connections. If you are using a proxy server, this requirement may be different; review your proxy server configuration.

  7. If you block outgoing connections over the internet, you will need to whitelist our licensing service addresses. See *****

Restart the system after making changes

If you make changes to the PCoIP License Server configuration settings, you will have to restart the server to apply your changes. To restart the server, use the following command:

sudo systemctl restart flextnetls-TERADICI
