License software installations on a server network (the License Server software)	This section is applicable to installations involving a license file activation type. This licensing method is gradually being replaced by the user credentials activation type starting with Thermo‑Calc 2025a. If you are doing a network installation then these files are available as a tar-file from the Thermo‑Calc website. Contact Support for more information. In the downloaded tar-file, there is a restart_lserv script file, which can be used as a template for creating a script that starts up the License Server.
