The VacMan Middleware 2.3 Server runs like most Windows server based applications as a Windows Service. When you first install the server the service is in a stopped state and your attempts to start it will fail. The service writes an event to the Application Event log indicating a license error. It will also write some entries to the very useful debug.log. Event Viewer:  License Violation Debug Log: 08/08/2007 12:09:14:184 3180: Establishing a connection to the VM Database..
08/08/2007 12:09:14:200 3180: Continuing to establish a connection to the VM Database..
08/08/2007 12:09:14:215 3180: Error reading license file [C:\Program Files\VASCO\VACMAN Middleware\bin\license.dat].
08/08/2007 12:09:14:715 3180: VerifyLicense failed! Exiting program.
This means you you need to license (or relicense) ther VacMan server. This guide explains how to do that. Requirements: Windows Server running VACMAN Middleware Server Valid Serial Number Note: This number will look like this: 667EA21EFB
Step 1. From the Command Prompt of your VACMAN MiddleWare 2.3 Server. Change to the directory where the VACMAN installation files are. On my server this is c:\Program files\VASCO\VacMan MiddleWare\ Step 2. Change to the bin Directory and type relicense.exe. Step 3. You will now be prompted for your Serial Number enter it here Step 4. You will now be prompted for the IP address of your server. Mine is 10.0.0.228 Step 5. You will be given an activation code - it should be written to a text file called activation_request.txt but if one already exists it won't overwrite it. So you need to write it down or at least cut and paste it! Note: you can force the license to be output to another file using the -o option relicense –a <IP> -s <Serial No.> [-o <file name>] 
Step 6. Now go to the Vasco website . On this site you will find an area for creating license.dat files for your server. Fill out the form and enter the activation request number in the correct field. Once the process is complete you will be sent a copy of the key. You can also download it from the site. Step 7. Once you have the key you need to save it on your servers file system under C:\Program Files\VASCO\VACMAN Middleware\bin\ Step 8. Now go to the Services MMC on your VacMan Server and start the service. 
If all goes to plan you should have a licensed VacMan Server ready for you to connect to. That is about as hard as it gets for VACMAN Middleware Administration
