Install License - Single User


You don’t need to install a license server as a single user. A node-locked license file will be provided for your workstation. Simply follow the steps below.

Setup license file

  • Download the file to your computer

  • Edit the variables.env file in the .das-element folder:

    • Linux/MacOS: ~/.das-element/variables.env

    • Windows %homepath%/.das-element/variables.env

  • Edit this line to point to your license file:

    • CODE
      DASELEMENT_LICENSE=/path/to/license/daselement.lic
  • Start the application (tick)


You need a valid license file in order to start the application.
To receive your license file, please send the order ID as well as the host name and host ID (MAC address) of your license server to support@das-element.com

[legacy] Setup local license server

An alternative approach is to start a local license server instance.

  • copy the license file in a folder called license in your local .das-element folder

    • Linux/MacOS: ~/.das-element/license

    • Windows %homepath%/.das-element/license

  • edit the variables.env file and add this line

    CODE
    DASELEMENT_LICENSE_TYPE=local
  • start the application (tick)

You may need to create the license folder if it doesn’t exist yet.

Install RLM as service (alternative)

An alternative approach is to install the RLM license server as a service.

Install service

Example for Linux

CODE
rlm -install_service -service_name daselement_rlm -display_name "Das Element License Service" -dlog /path/to/logs/rlmd.log -c /path/to/license/file.lic

Example for Windows

CODE
rlm.exe -install_service -service_name daselement_rlm -display_name "Das Element License Service" -dlog %HOMEPATH%\.das-element\logs\rlmd.log -c %HOMEPATH%\.das-element\licenses\daselement_20240118.lic

Remove service

CODE
rlm -delete_service -service_name daselement_rlm
