Question

How do I install the WALED2 license manager as a Service?

Answer

If your license key does not have the word float in it and has the word 'node' in it, then you have a node-locked key. You can simply put your key into the $SHARC_HOME/license directory and run harpoon.

If your license key has the word float in it then you have a floating key. You need to run the waled2 license manager.
