edie209 Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I am hoping someone can help. I have had Sebelius Licence Server on a Server 2008R2 VM for many years, but obviously we needed to update the server and I have installed a new server with Server 2016 but I can't get Sebelius Licence Server to work I have been going back and forward to their technical support who have finally said that it is not compatible with server 2016. Now money is tight these days like it probably is for many has anybody got a workaround to get it back up and running? The old server has been deregistered, is is worth trying compatibility mode?
bezzoh Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 You got any Mac OS 'servers'? I have Sibelius Licence Server running on a Mac Mini.
edie209 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 Hi thanks for the reply, I probably have someone me in the store cupboard. How involved was it? What is are you running on the Mac.
bezzoh Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Wasn't that difficult if memory serves. The Mac Server isn't particularly up to date though, I've had it sat there for years just as a deploystudio server, I have a 2nd more up to date one that deals with Profile Manager, etc. This one is only running 10.11.x but it does the job. I think the fact that I've got Sibelius on there is the reason I've not bothered upgrading it.
computer_expert Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I'm fairly sure I have sibelius licence server running on server 2019 and I don't think I had any issues during the install. I can't remember what version I have but I think it's something like V8.
bknaggs Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Did you do an in place update from your 2008R2 server? I did this when moving from 2008R2 to 2012R2 and it broke the activation (I think) of the license server. Avid were able to sort it though.
Katy Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 If you do get it working, make sure you remove "Avid Application Manager" (I think? Called something like that anyway), that was filling %TEMP% with tons of files daily on my server, by the time I worked out what it was there was 235GB of rubbish to delete.

I had this too, upgrading to the latest version fixed it (18.10.0.18605)
Ratcliffepg Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Working on Server 2016 here, licence server version is 8.4.2.23.
edie209 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Posted February 17, 2021 Thanks for everyone's replies. I tried compatibility mode for Windows Vista and it has worked. My License Server is 6.1.0.1
akidosaint Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 I'm having similar issue with Avid Application manager just filling appdata\temp folder. What steps did you take to clear this up? anything i need to be aware of. Or would you recommend uninstall clear folders then install new manager?

Uninstall it, and install the version I posted (18.10.0.18605) fixed it for me 1
