# License Server

Oz Forensics provides flexible licensing rules for all products. To support licensing for servers without an Internet connection, you need to install an offline license server.

## How to Install an Offline Licensing Server

You can install the software on any Linux-based non-virtual server. [Contact us](https://Mailto:Info@ozforensics.com) to get the files needed and follow the steps below.

### 1. Unpack the Software

```bash
mkdir /opt/oz
cd /opt/oz
tar xzf oz-lic.tar.gz
```

### 2. Install the License Service

```
./LexFloatServer -p product.dat -c config.yml -i --service-name ozlic
```

The installation is complete. For the next steps, use the Web interface on port `8090`.

### 3. Activate the License

Open the default page in your Web browser `http://server:8090` and authorize with your login and password.
