By default ATS Licensing uses an integrated (embedded) database to store licensing information. However, it is also possible to use an external Microsoft or Oracle SQL database. Follow the links below to see how to create the databases:
To link to a different licensing database you need to modify the configuration file.
Go to the following directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Applied Tech Systems\Licensing\Services.
Edit ATSLicensingServer.HostService.exe.config.
Find the <connectionStrings> section.
This section contains two strings - one for Microsoft SQL and the other for Oracle SQL.
Enable one of the database strings by deleting <!-- at the start of the line and --> at the end of the line.
Update the required database details so that it points to the licensing database you created.
Save and close the file.
Restart the ATS Licensing Server Service.
The new database is now being used.
To use the internal database again simply comment out the database connection string specified in the configuration file and restart the service.
