Note
	The Squish License Server only serves licenses of Squish GUI Tester (Tester and Execution subscriptions). (Squish Coco has its own license server.) (Squish Test Center has its own activation and license handling mechanism.)

	Note
	The Squish License Server is not available or required while evaluating Squish. Instead use the evaluation license key shown in the Squish Download Area when installing Squish.

The installer for Squish License Server is available in the Squish Download Area under Downloads > Squish [...] with one of the following filenames (the version number may differ):

Executing the installer will install into one of the following directories:

After installation, find the licenseserver(.exe) program in the bin directory. This is a command-line tool that needs to be run from a command prompt window.

Running the licenseserver without arguments will print out a machine-specific identifier and exit. Send the identifier to <sales@froglogic.com> along with your desired listening TCP port number. Note that a floating license file will be generated which only works on the machine with the same identifier you sent. So take some time and think about which machine you want to host the license server on. Modifying the generated floating license file will invalidate it.

Linux Example
