License Server Configuration 4
20
This chapter provides information for
configuring the FLEXlm license server and for
modifying a license server configuration.
Obtaining the Server Host Name
and ID
There are three steps for configuring the license
server. You obtain the server host name and ID, set
up a license file, and configure the server.
Configuring the license server requires a thorough
understanding of the network configuration model
you plan to deploy. See
“Network Configuration
Models” in Chapter 2, “Network Planning
Concepts’’
.
To obtain the host name and ID, you must run the
lmtools.exe installed by the AdLM Setup.exe .
To obtain the host name and ID:
1.
Do one of the following:
• Choose Start | Programs | Autodesk Network
License Manager and select LMTOOLS.
• Go to the directory where you installed the AdLM
(the default path is C:\Program Files\Autodesk
Network License Manager ) and select lmtools.exe .
2.
Click the Systems Settings tab.
3. Do one of the following:
• Write down the Computer/Hostname and the
Host ID (Ethernet Address).
• Click Save HOSTID Info to a File.
Note: If your server has more than one Ethernet
adapter, select one that corresponds to a physical
network adapter.
5. Choose File | Exit.
4. In the Network Setup wizard, enter this
information on the Server Configuration page.
5. Click Next to continue.
Obtaining and Setting Up a
License File
The license file identifies important licensing
information, including license type, and the number
of seats available for use.
To obtain a license file:
1.
Obtain the following information:
• Product serial number(s).
• Servername.
• Host ID number.
• An email address where Discreet can send the
license file.
2.
Provide the information to the Discreet
Registration and Authorization office.
Refer to the “Read This First” card for
information about contacting the Discreet
Registration and Authorization office.
The Registration and Authorization office will
email you the license file in text format.
To set up a license file:
1.
Copy the contents of the license file (you received
from Discreet via e-mail) to a text editor.
2. Save the file to the AdLM default directory
C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License
Manager\License
or in the License folder in the
directory where you installed the AdLM.
3.
Save the file as combustion.lic file.
Note:
You can name the license file anything you
like. However, the name must have a .lic or .dat
extension.
The combustion.lic file is used to configure the
server.
