The password is only assigned when installing the license.

Initially, newly installed servers have no password protection, thus cannot distribute licenses to clients, because this is linked to the password assignment.

Only when the first license is installed (where the Master/Backup configuration is specified), the password assignment is required when saving. (Without password assignment, actually the server cannot be used for productive operation.)

Before that time the server is „PASSIVE“ and actually cannot be properly used by any client.

A cluster can be created before.

Install all 2/3 license servers without licenses. See FLM server installation - Requesting/importing licenses.

Connect from any client.

Extract the hostid of the servers via *.json file and send it to CADENAS to apply for a license or use the Apply for licenses online [Request licenses online] tab page, where the Mac addresses of the servers are automatically read out.

Once you received the license, connect to the created cluster again and install the license. Here, a password has to be mandatorily assigned. (The password assignment can also happen before when reading-out the hostids.)

Note The person who administers the licenses does not necessarily need admin access to the license servers; after initial assignment, the password is sufficient.
