7. The LIM 3.0 is now free and it is included with the WebInspect product, but it should not run from that same machine.
The user must first install WebInspect, extract the LocalLicenseServer.msi file for the LIM, and then install the LIM on their designated IIS web server
The WebInspect Installation guide also details this installation process.
Refer to the Fortify 4.30 System Requirements and the WebInspect Installation Guide documents for full WebInspect details.

30. Program listing

31. Windows Service is operational

32. IIS web sites are ready:
LIMadmin for administrators
and
LIMservice for WebInspect users

33. LIM Admin Console is just this URL: https://host/LIMAdmin
If the login for the Admin Console fails with a RSA error regarding IIS Identity, you may need to alter the IIS settings. The Identity that the HP LIM’s application pool runs under may need to be altered from “Network Service” to “LocalSystem”.

38. If needed…

39. FYI…

40. SMTP configuration, if needed.
Messages are only sent to the LIM Administrators.
This is why you must enter “some address” during the configuration/install.

41. Need to add Product Licenses and then create Pools

44. Now to set-up the License Pools…

47. Sample of applying less than all available license seats to a particular Pool.

49. LIM Administrator tasks
Install LIM and keep it up-to-date
Add additional LIM admins
Monitor the LIM Service to ensure it is operational.
Manage product licenses and license pools
Note that WebInspect licenses with different Server Mode values should be segregated into separate License Pools. Name the pools accordingly for ease of use.
E.g. Pool should consist of all “Standalone”, “Roaming”, or “Fixed”, but no mixing.
Communicate to WebInspect users:
LIM server URL:
Pool name(s)
Pool password(s)

58. Three logs menu options are found within the LIMadmin web UI
Current Product Usage – aka Product Seats in Use
Current Activity Detail
Lease History

59. The Current Product Usage menu option opens this screen.
This displays the quantity of seats used.
Links shown will open the respective details.

60. This is the Current Activity Detail screen.
It can be opened from the Activity Management menu, or by clicking the seat quantity link found on the prior “Product Seats in Use” screen.
This displays the machine names of the current users.
It also permits the LIM admin to rescind that individual lease, or all current leases. This would disrupt those users, although they could reacquire a lease easily.

61. The Lease History menu option displays this log.
It shows the dates the licenses were returned to the LIM.

62. If needed for Fortify Support, the logs are stored at
C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP License and Infrastructure Manager\Logs\
