LMS system and account requirements

Note: Winshuttle Studio must be able to connect to the server(s) where the License Management System and/or User Governance are installed, using correctly configured URLs and ports. In addition, the connection to the LMS URL is made based upon the hostname, so the hostname must be resolvable via DNS or Hostname.

LMS Account requirements

Back to top

The account used to install the LMS should have the following permissions:

  • Administrator permissions on the target system.
  • dbcreator on the SQL server where the LMS database will be created.
  • securityadmin on the SQL server where the LMS database will be created.

Note:

  • If you are using a custom identity (such as an Active Directory user), the custom identity must be a member of  "Log on as a service policy."
  • The Winshuttle Administrator account specified at the end of installation is required to be a Winshuttle Foundation site collection administrator.

IMPORTANT: Registering ASP.NET with IIS

Back to top

On occasion the latest .ASP version is not registered with the LMS host machine/VM. The Requirements check performed during installation will not detect this. (The installation will still complete successfully, but the LMS site will not be accessible.)

To avoid this, do the following:

  1. Open a command prompt as an administrator.
  2. Change to the directory where the .NET framework is installed -- for example, C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319.
  3. Run the following command: aspnet_regiis.exe -iru

    NOTE: If you have already installed the LMS and .ASP.NET was/is not registered with IIS, you will need to register ASP.NET with IIS, and then re-install the LMS.
