License Administration is typically executed on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server platform. The Deployment Proxy Service (DPS) is implemented as a .NET Web Service, working through the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). So server setup involves configuring the following:

• IIS - Internet Information Server
• Microsoft .NET Framework
• .NET Framework 'machine.config' file

Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) is typically installed during a Windows 2000 Server installation. Verify that you have IIS installed on your server by checking that the C:\InetPub\wwwroot directory exists. This is the default location for IIS. If IIS is not installed, add the IIS web server components to the default directory  (C:\InetPub\wwwroot).

The Microsoft .NET Redistributable Package can be downloaded from Microsoft's Web site at the following link:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa569263.aspx

It also contains installation requirements for the Microsoft .NET Redistributable Package.

Since some of the Deployment Licensing Service (DLS) methods may take some time to execute, Accusoft Corporation recommends that you make the following modifications to the machine.config file after you have installed Microsoft .NET Framework:

1. Locate the file. On most Windows systems it would be at:  C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\CONFIG\machine.config      
2. In the file locate the processModel tag. The full path to it is:

   <configuration>

   <system.web>

   <processModel>

3. Find the responseDeadlockInterval parameter within the processModel tag. By default it looks like:

   responseDeadlockInterval="00:03:00"

   Its format is [Infinite | HH:MM:SS]

4. Change the value to "00:30:00".
