Installing the License Server

  1. After purchasing Swarm Learning from HPE, you will receive an email with a download link Access Your Products.

  2. From the email, click Access Your Products. You are redirected to MY HPE SOFTWARE CENTER.

  3. If you have the HPE Passport account, enter the credentials and Sign In. If you do not have it, create the HPE Passport Account and Sign In.

    After signing in, you should see the Software Notification Message Receipt page listing the products.

  4. Download APLS container and run it using the following procedures.

    1. Login to the HPE docker registry using your HPE Passport email id and password hpe_eval.

      docker login hub.myenterpriselicense.hpe.com -u <HPE-PASSPORT-EMAIL-ID> -p hpe_eval

    2. Enable Docker content trust.

      export DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1

    3. Pull the image with a tag.

      docker pull hub.myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/hpe_eval/autopass/apls:9.14

    4. Configure Data persistence.

      In order to retain configurations and installed licenses across containers, HPE recommends you to create a volume to persist the /hpe directory. This directory contains the following details:

      Image Directory Subdirectories Description
      /hpe AutoPass/LicenseServer/data ..data/conf
      ..data/log
      ..data/database

      HPE recommends you to create the volume using the docker volume create command and assign a volume name such as apls-volume, as follows:

      docker volume create apls-volume

    5. Create and run the APLS container.

    To run the APLS Docker container, user can use docker cli using the following instructions:

    Docker CLI

    docker run -d \
--name apls \
-v apls-volume:/hpe \
-p 5814:5814 \
--restart unless-stopped \
hub.myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/hpe_eval/autopass/apls:9.14

    NOTE: In case the APLS container does not work, then user can choose to install APLS software using the APLS installer. User can select the AutoPass License Server (APLS) Installer link under 'Additional Notes' and download the APLS software. To install the APLS software on a host machine (Linux or Windows), see AutoPass License Server User Guide, which is part of the downloaded APLS software.

  5. From a browser, access the APLS management console using the URL https://<localhost>:5814 on the host machine where you installed the license server.

    The default user name is admin, and the password is password.

NOTE: These instructions assume that the host IP of license server is and the external port is 5814. Host IP is the IP of the system where the license server is running. Modify these values to match the actual IP and external port on your system.

If the web browser cannot connect to the APLS management console, check your network proxy settings and firewall policies. Consider techniques like port forwarding to work around firewall policies. If necessary, work with your network administrator to diagnose and resolve connectivity problems.

  1. In the APLS web GUI, go to License Management -> Install License and note down the lock code.

    You will be navigated to the MY HPE SOFTWARE CENTER home page. After signing in with your HPE Passport credentials, you will see the Activate page.

  3. Activate the license:

    1. Select the number of licenses to activate and click Next.

      NOTE: You can select the number of licenses to be installed on the host machines. For example, if you have 5 licenses, you can install 2 on Windows, and 3 on Linux machines.

    2. Designate yourself or for another user for activation. Click Next.

    3. Enter the lock code you got from the Install Licenses page in the HPE Serial Number field and click Activate.

  4. Once you activate the licenses, you will see the Download Files page. Select the keys and the software and download them.
