Install License - Single User | Das Element

You don’t need to install a license server as a single user. Your workstation will receive a node-locked license file. Follow the steps in the license manager dialog that appears when you first start the software and click “Select License File”.

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 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:

DASELEMENT_LICENSE=/path/to/license/daselement.lic

Start the application

[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
```
DASELEMENT_LICENSE_TYPE=local
```
start the application

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

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

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
