# Install License Server

To install an IDOL License Server, follow these steps.

To install License Server

1. Download the stand-alone License Server zip package from the Software Licenses and Downloads portal. The package includes the License Server executable file and resources such as configuration files.
2. Extract the files to a directory, on the machine you chose as the host. There are special requirements for your License Server host, such as a static IP or MAC address, which must match your license key. For more information, see The License Key File.
3. Place your license key file (`licensekey.dat`) in the installation directory, alongside `licenseserver.exe` and `licenseserver.cfg`.
4. If the IDOL components that you want to license are not on the same machine as your License Server installation, configure client authorization so that those components are permitted to request a license.

5. (Optional) Create a service so that License Server starts when the machine starts. For more information, see the following topics:

   - Install an IDOL Component as a Service on Windows
   - Install an IDOL Component as a Service on Linux

6. Start License Server. For more information about starting the License Server, see Operate License Server.
