Installing and updating the License Manager
Usually you do not need to install the License Manager separately: it is installed or updated together with each Virto product. Install or update it on its own when a Virto product reports that the installed License Manager is older than it requires.
The License Manager package is available for each SharePoint version:
- SharePoint Server Subscription Edition: Virto.WebLicenseManager.SE.zip
- SharePoint Server 2019: Virto.WebLicenseManager.2019.zip
- SharePoint Server 2016: Virto.WebLicenseManager.2016.zip
Each Virto product package also contains the Virto.WebLicenseManager folder with the same set of files.
Package contents
Unzip the package. The Virto.CA.WLM.Setup folder of the Subscription Edition package contains:
- SetupSE.exe — the setup wizard (Setup2019.exe in the SharePoint Server 2019 package, Setup2016.exe in the 2016 one);
- Deploy.ps1 — a script that installs the solution or updates an installed one;
- Virto.CA.WLM.wsp — the SharePoint solution;
- ReadMe.txt, VersionHistory.txt, ThirdPartyComponents.txt, EULA.rtf.
The setup wizard and the License Manager library are signed with a certificate issued to UAB Virtosoftware, so Windows shows UAB Virtosoftware as the publisher when you run the wizard. From version 3.2.12, the License Manager also checks on every server of the farm that the installed Virto product libraries are signed by UAB Virtosoftware and shows the result on its Health page.
Install or update with the setup wizard
On a SharePoint server, run the setup program as a farm administrator and follow the steps.
Install or update with PowerShell
Open the SharePoint Management Shell as a farm administrator in the Virto.CA.WLM.Setup folder and run .\Deploy.ps1. If the License Manager is already installed, the script updates it to the version in the package.
Check the result
After the installation or update, open Central Administration → Virtosoftware Web License Manager → Health and check that the solution is Deployed and the timer jobs are Running (see License Manager status and site license health).
