NVIDIA License System Quick Start Guide

Minimal instructions for installing and configuring the NVIDIA License System.

This Quick Start Guide provides minimal instructions for installing and configuring NVIDIA License System. The instructions cover the configuration of a Cloud License Service (CLS) instance and the installation and configuration a standalone Delegated License Service (DLS) instance. The instructions for configuring a DLS instance assume that the VM that hosts the DLS instance has been assigned an IP address automatically.

If you need complete instructions, are hosting a DLS instance on a VM that has not been assigned an IP address automatically, or require high availability for a DLS instance, refer to NVIDIA License System User Guide.

Before proceeding, determine whether you want to use a CLS instance or DLS instance to serve licenses to clients. For guidance, refer to About Service Instances in NVIDIA License System User Guide.

A Cloud License Service (CLS) instance is hosted on the NVIDIA Licensing Portal.

1.1. Creating a License Server on the NVIDIA Licensing Portal

To be able to allot licenses to an NVIDIA License System instance, you must create at least one license server on the NVIDIA Licensing Portal. Creating a license server defines the set of licenses to be allotted.

    2. Step 2 – Features: Select one or more available features from your entitlements to allot to this license server.
    3. Step 3 - Environment: Select Cloud (CLS) or On-Premises (DLS) to install this license server. To make the selection after the license server has been created, select the Deferred option.
    4. Step 4 – Configuration: From the Leasing mode drop-down list, select one of the following leasing modes:
      Standard Networked Licensing
      Select this mode to simplify the management of licenses on a license server that supports networked licensing. In this mode, no additional configuration of the licenses on the server is required.
      Advanced Networked Licensing
      Select this mode if you require control over the management of licenses on a license server that supports networked licensing. This mode requires additional configuration to create license pools and fulfillment conditions on the server.
      Node-Locked Licensing
      Select this mode only if the license server will serve clients that cannot obtain a license from a remote license server over a network connection. In this mode, the clients obtain a node-locked license from a file installed locally on the client system.
      CAUTION:

      This mode requires additional work to create the license file to be installed locally and to return licenses when the client is shut down. If this mode is set, the mode of the license server cannot be changed.

A Delegated License Service (DLS) instance is hosted on-premises at a location that is accessible from your private network, such as inside your data center.

Before configuring a DLS instance, ensure that the DLS appliance is installed in a suitable VM or deployed in a suitable container on a bare-metal OS as explained in Installing and Configuring the DLS Virtual Appliance in NVIDIA License System User Guide.

2.1. Registering the DLS Administrator User

Each DLS virtual appliance is configured with a user account specifically for administering the DLS. This account provides access through a web-based management interface to the NVIDIA Licensing application on the appliance. Before administering a DLS virtual appliance, you must register this user to be able to access this management interface.

  1. Open a web browser and connect to the URL https://dls-vm-ip-address.
    dls-vm-ip-address
    The IP address or, if defined, the fully qualified domain name or the CNAME of the VM on which the DLS virtual appliance is installed.

    You can get the IP address from the management console of your hypervisor.

  2. On the Set Up page that opens, click NEW INSTALLATION.
  3. On the Register User page that opens, provide the credentials for the DLS administrator user.
    Note:

    If the DLS administrator user has already been registered, the login page opens instead of the Register User page.

    1. Optional: If you want to change the user name from the preset name dls_admin, replace the text in the Username field with your choice of user name.
    2. Provide a password for the DLS administrator user and confirm the password. The password must be at least eight characters long and is case sensitive.
    Note:

    You can change the DLS administrator user name and password at any time after the DLS administrator user is registered.

  4. Determine whether you want to enable an additional user that will be able to access the log files for the DLS virtual appliance.
    • If you want to enable this additional user, ensure that the Create a diagnostic user option remains selected.
    • Otherwise, deselect the Create a diagnostic user option.
  5. Click REGISTER. The Register User page is refreshed to confirm that the user has been registered and displays a local reset secret to enable you to reset the user's password.
  6. Copy the local reset secret and store it securely, for example, by clicking the clipboard icon and pasting the local reset secret into a plain text file that is readable only by you. You will need this key to reset the DLS administrator user's password.
  7. Click CONTINUE TO LOGIN.
  8. On the login page that opens, type the user name of the DLS administrator user, provide the password that you set for this user, and click LOGIN.

2.2. Changing the Name and Description of a DLS Instance

By default, a DLS instance is created with the name DEFAULT_timestamp and the description ON_PREM_SERVICE_INSTANCE. To distinguish a DLS instance on the NVIDIA Licensing Portal when multiple DLS instances are configured, change these defaults to a meaningful name and the description.

Perform this task from the DLS virtual appliance.

    4. Optional: In the Expiration section, select an expiration date for the client configuration token. If you do not select a date, the default token expiration time is 12 years.
    5. Click DOWNLOAD CLIENT CONFIGURATION TOKEN.

    A file named client_configuration_token_mm-dd-yyyy-hh-mm-ss.tok is saved to your default downloads folder.

After creating a client configuration token from a service instance, copy the client configuration token to each licensed client that you want to use the combination of license servers and fulfillment conditions specified in the token. For more information, see Configuring a Licensed Client.
You can decouple the leasing port from the UI port for auth and lease operations. Once you have done so, you can block the UI port for the client VM.

Note:

For backward compatibility, leasing operations will still be supported by the default HTTPS port (443) in the VM version.

  • All UI and leasing operations will be supported on the default HTTPS port, 443.
  • Only leasing operations will be supported on the leasing port, 8082.

A client with a network connection obtains a license by leasing it from a NVIDIA License System service instance. The service instance serves the license to the client over the network from a pool of floating licenses obtained from the NVIDIA Licensing Portal. The license is returned to the service instance when the licensed client no longer requires the license.

The NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver creates a default location in which to store the client configuration token on the client.

The process for configuring a licensed client is the same for CLS and DLS instances but depends on the OS that is running on the client.

3.1. Configuring a Licensed Client on Windows with Default Settings

Perform this task from the client.

  1. Copy the client configuration token to the %SystemDrive%:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\vGPU Licensing\ClientConfigToken folder.
  2. Restart the NvDisplayContainer service.

The NVIDIA service on the client should now automatically obtain a license from the CLS or DLS instance.

3.2. Configuring a Licensed Client on Linux with Default Settings

Perform this task from the client.

  1. As root, open the file /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf in a plain-text editor, such as vi.
    Copy
    Copied!
                

    $ sudo vi /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf

    Note:

    You can create the /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf file by copying the supplied template file /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf.template.

  2. Add the FeatureType configuration parameter to the file /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf on a new line as FeatureType="value".

    value depends on the type of the GPU assigned to the licensed client that you are configuring.

    GPU Type Value
    NVIDIA vGPU 1. NVIDIA vGPU software automatically selects the correct type of license based on the vGPU type.
    Physical GPU The feature type of a GPU in pass-through mode or a bare-metal deployment:
    • 0: NVIDIA Virtual Applications
    • 2: NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation
    • 4: NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server

    This example shows how to configure a licensed Linux client for NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation.

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    # /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf.template - Configuration file for NVIDIA Grid Daemon … # Description: Set Feature to be enabled # Data type: integer # Possible values: # 0 => for unlicensed state # 1 => for NVIDIA vGPU # 2 => for NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation # 4 => for NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server FeatureType=2 ...

  3. Copy the client configuration token to the /etc/nvidia/ClientConfigToken directory.
  4. Ensure that the file access modes of the client configuration token allow the owner to read, write, and execute the token, and the group and others only to read the token.
    1. Determine the current file access modes of the client configuration token.
      Copy
      Copied!
                  

      # ls -l client-configuration-token-directory

    2. If necessary, change the mode of the client configuration token to 744.
      Copy
      Copied!
                  

      # chmod 744 client-configuration-token-directory/client_configuration_token_*.tok

    client-configuration-token-directory
    The directory to which you copied the client configuration token in the previous step.
  5. Save your changes to the /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf file and close the file.
  6. Restart the nvidia-gridd service.

The NVIDIA service on the client should now automatically obtain a license from the CLS or DLS instance.

3.3. Verifying the NVIDIA vGPU Software License Status of a Licensed Client

After configuring a client with an NVIDIA vGPU software license, verify the license status by displaying the licensed product name and status.

To verify the license status of a licensed client, run nvidia-smi with the –q or --query optionfrom the licensed client, not the hypervisor host. If the product is licensed, the expiration date is shown in the license status.
