7.4 Default Settings
After VPN Server is installed, there are several settings that first
must be configured. This section describes how to configure these
settings with examples of the settings when using PacketiX VPN Server
Manager. The same settings can also be configured using vpncmd, so as a
basic rule, the corresponding vpncmd command names are also provided.
For information about detailed vpncmd operations, please refer to 「Chapter 6 Command Line Management Utility Manual」.
7.4.1 Changing the Manager Password
At the time VPN Server is installed, the manager password for the
entire VPN Server is not set. We recommend setting the manager password
as soon as you install VPN Server.
The following alert is displayed if the VPN Server manager password
is not set when connecting to VPN Server with VPN Server Manager.

7.4.2 Registering the License
To use VPN Server in accordance with the end-user license agreement
of PacketiX VPN Server 2.0, you must obtain a Standard Edition License
issued by SoftEther Corporation in advance and a Connect License where
necessary. (For details, please refer to 「1.3 PacketiX VPN 2.0 Product Configuration and License」.)
The license is in the form of a 36-digit alphanumeric license key. To
use VPN Server as VPN server software, you must register the license
key.
To register the license key, click [Add or Delete License] on VPN
Server Manager. The following window is displayed.

the Number of Connections
The [Add or Delete License] window displays a list of license keys
registered to VPN Server, information of each license key, the result of
all license keys totaled, and the mode in which VPN Server is currently
running. For example, the following window shows that there are 30 VPN
Server 2.0 Standard Edition Licenses and Client Connect Licenses and two
Bridge Connect Licenses registered.

registered to VPN Server. You can use this Virtual HUB as is. You can
also delete this Virtual HUB and create a Virtual HUB with a different
name.
